Digest Number 296

[Hompierre]

The post master s goign to be looking at different ways of irratiating the
mail. Right now, for the last couple of days, they are using an electron beam
which according to the official will "without a doubt" kill anything anthrax
and all. We may be able to use envelops as paper plates! Anyhow, this is
today. Tomorrow they will use a technology that has been pushed, without much
success, for irratiating food. I recently sent an email to the pharmacy I
order from in England and did not get a satisfactory answer. In short my
inquiry was swept under the rug. I do think that this woud do harm or change
the remedies. This technology uses spent Uranium from electrical plants to
irritiate whatever they want. Depending on the charge, I have had interest in
this matter for quite some time, we could keep a chicken without spoiling in
a fridge for a lifetime. Because we are talking about mail and not a food
item there is no doubt that the charge used will be very substantial. The
need to kill anything that is potentially harmful is strong as already
demonstrated in the official comments of the last few days. ANybody with
physics background, please explain these technologies. Thank you
