Remember how irradiating the mail was supposed to knock out anthrax and make the world safe again for useless coupons for local services you don't use? Well, it's apparently not that simple.
Seems that irradiated mail may be making mail handlers sick. My favorite quote from Senator Charles Grassley:
"Irradiating the mail was and is a big experiment."
Last time I checked, if you were going to experiment on humans you needed their permission. This may not be the same as strapping someone down and making them ingest a half gallon of Bactine, but it seems a little short-sighted to zap the mail without establishing some sort of protocols to protect the people who spend the most time with the mail.
Another example of how Congress is looking out for the working man!
