Irradiation of mail



Colleagues —
 
I heard a blurb about "sanitizing" the mail on the radio this morning, and there's an interesting press release at http://www.usps.com/news/2001/press/pr01_1022pmg.htm
 
Buried in the press release is the following:
 
"The PMG (PostMaster General) said USPS (United States Postal Service) will be investing heavily in technology to sanitize the mail. He cited equipment already available that uses irradiation to kill bacteria. "We're looking to buy our first piece of equipment today."
