Of particular interest to me was the bit about mail sanitizing near the bottom of the page. It begins:
- In response to reports of tampering with US Mail, the United States Postal Service began sanitizing selected mail in select facilities using an electron beam (e-beam) device developed by Titan Industries. Initial reports indicated that the radiation levels associated with the e-beam sanitizing devices would harm imaging materials.
The results were worse than they expected.
