Proposed UK Communications Law Could Be Used To Spy On Physical Mail
BBC reports that the UK's Draft Communications Bill [http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/uk-politics-18477158]{bbc} includes a provision which could be used to force the Royal Mail, etc, to retain data on all physical mail passing through their networks.

The Home Office claims that it has no current plans to enforce the law.
