The issue of irradiating mail isn't a postal worker issue. Allan's concern is that they were irradiating some of the mail in the dc area (mostly congressional mail). However, this has stopped because it didn't accomplish what it set out to do, it ruined the mail and it caused toxic chemical release. Congress people and their employees were mostly getting their mail irradiated and there were so many complaints about the chemical smell and the ruined mail that hearings were held and generally, the post office stopped.

Since Allan farms near dc his fear is that his seeds could have been irradiated. I understand the process was so destructive of packaging that you would have known by the brittle paper.
