This doesn't seem unlikely to me at all. After all, they do process millions of pieces of mail every day. Who's typing in all these flagged addresses? Interns. They work for free, or a pittance.
I think you are grossly underestimating the efficiency of information management and transfer.
This is strictly O/T, but a have a friend this happened to. Get caught cheating in a casino, and then try to go gamble at any other casino in the U.S. You won't. But with the millions of people in and out of casinos every day, how could they possibly tag one guy? They have their means. Face recognition software, name tracking, blah, blah, blah. This guy can't gamble anywhere.
