Could be the possibility that it was inspected under suspect of being explosives or something...
I'm pretty sure that it's illegal to open someone's mail? Or is the post office allowed to do that?

The post office is the exception because it's government.  They can do it, but no normal person can.

Yes the post office is part of government but, the postal workers are no longer federal employees(yeah it's weird(I know this because my dad is a mailman)). Yep it's a federal offense to open someone else's mail.

If you recieve it and it's opened and/or things are removed, it's hard to prove.

If you were to use a middle man and the middle man recieved and sent out both ends but one person recieved an empty envelope, who would it fall on?

Postal service.

Or supply better envelopes


Personal middle man gripe: people just send me huge envelopes that will contain only the card itself, pack the envelope properly with paper and tape down the card with the stamp attached, if you have a large package over 1oz (28.5g) you will need another stamp
