They don't decide. I do.

This is not factually true. The USPS has a Postal Inspection Service
that can intercept your mail for various reasons. Details are in
39 USC 3013. The quote below comes from a report on their activities
for the year ended March 31 2004. During that period there were 21
withholding mail orders issued.

OK, they decide, for extremely small values of decide.  21 withholding
mail orders vs. how many trillions of items handled?
