As a follow-up to this follow-up, there was an article in the news I think yesterday or Friday that said 57 Hart Senate office building workers and 87 postal workers have mysterious illness symptoms that they are linking to handling the irradiated mail. Seems the mail is irradiated, then sent to another postal facility before it gets sent to Washington.

I tried posting this while my email was screwed up and it didn't show up
in the digest so i assume it didn't get distributed. Anyway, I happened
to be talking to the local postmaster and asked her about the PO
irradiating the mail. She didn't think they were doing it and gave me
this # to call to find out for sure. (800-275-8777) According to this
source only the mail to certain 20xxx zips are being zapped. These are
government zips. Also "suspicious" packages are being zapped but this is
only very occasionally. So I guess our film is safe for now.

Since the irradiation leaves no residue or residual radiation this seems to be a hysterical illness based on bad information.
