- I was reading _Smith v Md_ and was considering the notion
- that info that is turned over voluntarily to third parties
- can not be "intercepted" w/n Title III.
-
- Does this mean that the gov't can read the outside the envelopes
- of postal mail and record the return and forward addresses of
- postal mail? isn't this analogous to the information recorded by a
- pen register.
-
- is there a case that analyzes this?
