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 >mail, not all mail. >Recognizing the extraordinary expense these national security >measures will take, PMG Jack Potter testified before the Senate that >USPS would need $1.1 billion through next June to implement full >safety and security measures, including protect-ive equipment for >employees, detection and filtering equipment to be placed at mail >processing equipment, and irradiation and mail decontamination >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 >Allan: > >Your info about irradiation is out of date. > >The DC post office (Brentwood?) is currently irradiating mail. I >understand all the govt.
