"The iCOP { Internet Covert Operations Program } program protects the Postal Service and the public by facilitating the identification, disruption, and dismantling of individuals and organizations that use the mail or USPS online tools to facilitate black market Internet trade or other illegal activities," the USPIS 2019 annual report explains. "Analysts in iCOP utilize USPS systems and tools to provide open source intelligence and cryptocurrency blockchain analysis in support of all Inspection Service investigations." Cases cover "narcotics, mail theft, revenue fraud, homicide, dangerous mail, and more."

As part of iCOP, USPIS agents "assume fake identities online, use sophisticated intelligence tools and employ facial recognition software," Yahoo!'s Jana Winter reported this year. These tools include Clearview AI's facial recognition database, which contains more than 3 billion images scraped from social media and other public websites, and Zignal Labs' real-time keyword search software.

no the post office isnt profitable because its designed to fail. i think the politicians ruined it by messing with its pension funding. they want to privatize it which i guess would violate the constitution

They are paying my carrier 3x time to drop off parcels on Sundays. They need to move to a spoke-wheel system, bigger trucks, part-time loaders-sorters. The carrier with a large truck could do 3 current routes.
