All,
The word from Jan an Marty is that Darrell Probst contacted the UPSP
and currently only letters are being irradiated, not packages or
packets like SIGNA uses. My local window clerk says that currently
only mail to the government offices in Washinton DC is being
irradiated, and that they are taking a "wait and see" attitude toward
expanding the program. She also said she felt that some provisions
would be made for sensitive mail. For now, at least, our seeds seem
safe!
