As I remember it, USPS did x-ray, the commercial carriers did not. ( Fed Ex, UPS, etc.) However, I think that right now ( mid-2009) no mail is going through X-ray unless you are sending it to Congress ( Washington DC) or other "sensitive" addresses. Cost - benefit ratio is in effect here. DAMHIKT. I am currently waiting for a package sent from Oz to me.... 2 weeks later, no package. I suspect it went "surface" mail. ( Boat!) Frank Filippone red735i at earthlink.net I wonder if USPS does ground route to down under, and if it would arrive this year. I believe that if is going in an aircraft it has to be x-rayed. I hope so anyway, otherwise bombing a plane would be sublimely easy.
