Yes, opened by U.S. Customs. Neither origin nor destination was in the U.S. What next? Censors?
[Update: I hadn't noticed until now, but they actually opened the letter inside as well. I can't believe it. It was a letter of recommendation from a prof, so the fact that it was opened kind of renders it unusable. The lesson here is not to use FedEx anymore, because they'll open your mail.]
In peripherally related news, I don't believe I will ever transit through the States again.

The opening paragraph:
A senior lawyer for the U.S. government has told a judge hearing a lawsuit over Maher Arar's deportation to Syria that foreign citizens passing through American airports have almost no rights.
