Mail carriers, logistics companies, and couriers often X-ray contents for hazard or illegal materials.

Yes, but not the contents of letters, which is a closer equivalent.

Letters aren’t being posted publicly either though

Maybe graffiti? I’m not really sure what my legal obligations are if someone were to put a public-facing obscenity on my property. I’d clean it up, but it would be a lot harder if it happened thousands of times a day.

A postcard would be the equivalent.

Letters are more like encrypted messages as you’re unable to read them.

I suppose that’s more accurate, but we don’t expect mail carriers to monitor the contents of postcards, either.
