The situation you describe is obstruction of mail. I've posted a link to the USPS website, but this matter is governed by Section 1702 of Title 18 of the United States Code with provides as follows:
"Whoever takes any letter, postal card, or package out of any post office or any authorized depository for mail matter, or from any letter or mail carrier, or which has been in any post office or authorized depository, or in the custody of any letter or mail carrier, before it has been delivered to the person to whom it was directed, with design to obstruct the correspondence, or to pry into the business or secrets of another, or opens, secretes, embezzles, or destroys the same, shall be fined under this title or imprisoned not more than five years, or both."

No. It is a federal offense to tamper with someone's mail unless the addressee is disabled or something like that.

It is a federal offense to open other peoples mail. Federal offenses are by far worse then the laws we are use to. Basically don't mess with the federal government!!!

Legally NO, Physically YES-otherwise they wouldn't need a law.
