They take a photo of the front and back of every piece of mail that is sent. Your content is safe, but they still get the metadata.

Couldn't you just leave off the return address? In this case there's not much metadata to collect except for the recipient address.

I did a fun experiment once. I wrote the actual recipient address in the return address place, and put a non existant address in the front. I also didn't stamp it. It did arrive to the recipient 2 weeks later, with a "return to sender" banner.
