    I went down a brief rabbit hole on the zip+4 and the IMb (intelligent mailer barcode). The +4 was originally a local division inside a single zipcode, like a neighborhood or mail route. +4 and the barcode was then called POSTNET – decommissioned and now upgraded barcode encoding to IMb, which can contain like 2000 bits of data. The zip +4 technically now has a length of 11 digits, and is inside a IMb barcode.

    Conclusion, barcodes have sensitive data too. ~✍️

    edit add: i wanted to see if my phone’s barcode app could scan too see if OP’s post office really calls him Mr. Off, but it cant natively read mailer codes and I fell asleep and the rabbit hole ended.

    After one hour and a half of intense interrogation, Waldo never said one word. He never even blinked. In fact it was oddly odd he just starred straight off at the off-white wall the whole time. In fact, it wasn’t until the investigator walked behind the chair to see it was in fact a cardboard cutout of Waldo sitting in a chair in the chair the whole time!. With a Post-It note on the back that read… "Dear Sir, did you know Kinkos can print high quality life-size cutouts of your favorite celebrity? This Kinkos employee is also a mole working in your precinct for the last 35 years – whom is also a cardboard cutout. Best of luck finding us inside your 2D universe.
    –W.Waldo "

    Logic rule - apply logic to anything in the picture.
    My best ai telltale is doing a maximum zoom-in on anything. Ai dedicates all its processing power on the front subject (the prompted thing) and little to everything else… it can do individual hairs\face wrinkles\teeth\fingers\fingernails… but I cannot definitively identify any object that’s going on on the background shelves.

    It’s 2026, low resolution or bad jpeg compression artifacts at any zoomed level isn’t necessary, or is unnecessarily blurred.
