Not so fast - Customs has the right to inspect anything being brought into the US, but they do not have the right to read private correspondence of a US citizen who is not presenting themselves for entry into the US. In fact, hopefully the Feingold initiative will pass into law and prevent Customs from these types of random infiltrations into people's privacy.
