Mailing the letter from a box away from your home is not the issue. You could simply tape the corners of your letter and put a stamp on it. You put it in an envelope--what you you have to hide? If you had nothing to hide, you would not put your mail in envelopes.
The point I'm trying to make here is that while Spiff is often very vocal about avoiding a slippery slope erosion of our rights, he's absolutey right. If you have nothing to hide, of course, you won't mind mailing all mail on postcards and you won't mind submitting to a search of your home without a warrant, and you certainly won't mind being arrested and not getting a lawyer for a few days while you discuss the issue with the police, right?
Just so that you are aware, with older cell phones (no U-911 equipped phone), any agency that can obtain the cooperation of your phone carrier can pinpoint your location to 50 square miles or thereabouts. If you have one of the phones with the U-911 GPS receiver, they can indeed pinpoint your location.

I use an envelope to prevent the contents from being lost and not getting to their destination. I am NOT worried about ANYONE tracking me because they would be bored to tears...go to work, go home, go to work, go home. Yep, I am one hotbed of excitement. Now if you are going to start telling me that our "rights" are somehow being violated by owning a cell phone, save it cause I am not buying it. Just like I am not buying into the cell phone "craze." I sound like my grandfather...
