Well, it's good to know where his head is at:
From Yahoo News:
Graham went on to liken it to World War II, when international mail was subject to inspection and censorship.
"When you wrote a letter overseas, it got censored. When a letter was written back from the battlefield to home, they looked at what was in the letter to make sure they were not tipping off the enemy... because under the Japanese and Nazi regime, they weren't that big into the First Amendment."

From Yahoo News:
"Sen. Lindsey Graham would propose censoring Americans' 'snail' mail if he thought it would help protect national security, the South Carolina Republican said Tuesday. But for now, he says he doesn't think it's necessary."The direct quote is: "If I thought censoring the mail was necessary, I would suggest it, but I don't think it is."
