Yeah - I know - they're not _actually_ going to read anything, it's just that I'm fairly sure that there are issues with reasonable expectations of privacy and opening up what is regarded as a "sealed container"

Then again I'm probably just being a little paranoid. 1984 was one of my favourite books when I was a kid.
