Regarding Army Examiners opening mail:
During World War II, fear of enemies obtaining secret information through the mail caused censors (Examiners) to monitor letters that soldiers sent home, cutting out anything that could possibly give the enemy information. Even the traditional symbols for hugs and kisses Xs and Os were cut from letters because officials worried that the pattern could be a code explaining troop positions or ship movements.
