Complaints of undelivered mail, poor service dog Rockaway
post offices
"Postal problems in the Rockaways are piling up like junk
mail. Rep. Gregory Meeks is hosting a town hall meeting Friday
to address growing dissatisfaction with mail service on the
peninsula, and has invited U.S. Postal Service brass from
Washington to listen to the complaints. "There is so much
incompetence and lack of supervision" at the Far Rockaway post
offices, said Meeks. "I'm hearing from a lot of seniors who
don't get their Social Security checks on time. A lot of
people aren't getting their bills." -

Carrier Accused of Warning Customer About 'Mail Cover'
Surveillance
"Here's a good reason to remember your postal carrier at

illegally tipped off a postal customer that he was the subject
of a "mail cover" -- a form of warrantless surveillance in
which the envelope information on every card and letter
received is secretly recorded by the Post Office, then passed
to federal law enforcement or intelligence officials." -
