Here is a Kodak statement on irradiation of the mail.  No damaging
film is apparently a USPS concern.

I read the statement on the link refers to and am wondering about one of the
statements and here is a section of it.
"The USPS is working with the mailing industry to develop procedures to
ensure that sanitization of the mail will not damage sensitive items in the
mail. Sanitization technology is currently being tested on a wide range of
film products, digital and magnetic storage devices, laboratory samples,
food and plant products, and "smart" credit cards with embedded chips to
ensure that all business mail can be safely processed through the postal
system."
I am wondering if they are only worried about the "business" mail that is
sent by the companys such as Kodak or are they worried about damaging the
film sent to the companys to process?
Just a concern as I still have a few slide mailers and am planning on using
them.  John Gettis
