   No Subject Given

   how am I going to order shitake mushroom spore through the mail now?
   What about the saffron bulbs that I just planted? Would they have got blasted too?
   I'm fixin' to order some dwarf papaya seeds... should I even bother?
   I didn't see any mention of excluding perishables from the radiation... and if there was a way to exclude a package, then why irradiate any of it?

   The Next Step

   This is one of the major problems that America has these security holes. We arent looking far enough ahead.
   
   So they build a device that irradiates Anthrax and other biological weapons deployable thru the US Mail. Then what happens when someone figures out how to stick something else even deadlier in the mail that the "Mail Microwave" doesnt kill. Then the big stink will be about how we need new devices and safeguards and also why we were so crazy 5 years ago to make a "Mail Microwave" that didnt include features to irradiate feret poop, or whatever the next killer mail thing is.
   
   Its the whole hindsight is 20x20 thing. But I think the forward lookers could use some contacts.
