I'm not so sure its privacy so much as the absolute firehouse of packages and letters makes it untenable to inspect most mail without a reason.
Well not these days! Postal services were actually one of the first institutions to start using a ML based image classifier to determine zip codes automatically from people's hand writing. I could easily see something like that existing for X-rays to auto-classify package contents if they wanted. That being said, I agree that they haven't seemed motivated to implement that (thank goodness).
Also, post privacy is constitutional in most free countries AFAIK.
I mean, yeah, privacy is super important, but for international stuff it depends a lot on how they write the customs declaration. When I was on DIY it was usually marked "personal medication" or similar, and none of them were opened (not that it would have gotten seized, but still). OTOH when I used to use and import tobacco, at least 90% of those were opened and assessed for tax.
I think if any administration tried to crack down on DIY it would just incentivize domestic production instead: inspecting domestic mail is much harder even for a fully authoritarian regime.
Enjoy your hormones <3
