When read carefully..... 1) "The USPS is working with the mailing industry to develop procedures..." means we have proceedures that we are using. 2) "Sanitization technology is currently being tested....." means we don't know yet or we have not done tests yet and analyezed the results 3) " Therefore, based upon this statement and upon other information from USPS shared with Kodak and the photo industry, it appears that current photographic commerce in all its forms will be unaffected." means bull puckey. This is basic propaganda. What is stated is that the USPS has the equipment and is using it. It may ruin the contents of some types of electronic memory ( disks? tape? ZIP Disks? Eprom? E2Prom? static memory? memory cards? : All of which are known subjects of irradiation) and film. They do not know, or they do know and are spreading more "calming" words. It means that you should not ship any film by USPS nor should you ship any electronic equipment. Calming? .
