And there's the problem. Why the hell doesn't that require a warrant?

Other than that, I really don't expect the Post Office to ever do anything but comply with lawful requests. What's the alternative? Do you want the Post Office conducting internal investigations of postal customers?

Oh, they do that, too. The other half of the mail cover regulation specifies the requirement for when the postal inspectors want one for their own use.
