Brentwood, of course, would be one of the places that I'd expect them 
to irradiate for the protection of the government.

Here's what I found on the Postal pages http://www.usps.gov

>USPS has issued contracts for purchases of irradiation equipment and 
>said these contracts remain in place. The Postal Service also noted 
>that - as it has said before - irradiation will be used on targeted

>equipment.

I see two things there: they have not had the time nor the money to 
implement full irradiation of the mail.

Of course, since I cannot imagine that this anthrax scare is 
suffecient to trigger this sort of response, I can only imagine what 
the real motive for irraditiating ALL the mail would be.

Yes, someone bring me up to date. -Allan
