Has irradiation, of the type proposed to be used by the USPS, been shown
to cause problems with film?  If so, what problems?  Or is this another
"internet-sky-is-falling" worry based on assumption rather than fact or
even anecdotal evidence.  What's being proposed is not X-rays, which can
sometimes cause problems, but something other.
