History News Network: "Grant Goodman: Complains Homeland Security opened his mail
Source: Lawrence Journal-World (12-20-05)
retired Kansas University professor says the federal government has been poking into the mail he receives from abroad.

Grant Goodman on Monday showed the Journal-World a recent letter he had received from a friend in the Philippines; it apparently had been opened, then re-closed with green tape bearing the seal of the U.S. Department of Homeland Security and a message that it had been opened �by Border Protection.�

�Very uneasy. And very surprised,� Goodman, 81, a KU professor emeritus of history, said of his reaction to the federal snooping. �I never expected to see that.�"
