If you put the letters in a calandar in a microwave over a bowl of water and put it on high for ten minutes that is likely to kill them too. Maybe the contact pressure and penetration of the steam iron is what is needed though. I would add a good dollop of javex to the water. The steam opens the spores and the heat kills them. Perhaps taping them to an old colour television screen for 72 hours would be good enough :) You could spoil a lot of stuff printed on an inkjet printer as that stuff is not water proof. Those rad sources they use for densitometers in mills would be dandy for decontaminating letters. I would bet you could set up a quick and dirty letter handler with a densitometer, a pipe, and an adjustable conveyor belt. Another suggestion is a portable hospital X-Ray machine, set on stun. Don't stand near. X-Ray machines used for steel inspection might work too. Handle envelopes with care as sealing is not guaranteed. Postpersons beware. Have these terrorists considered the digruntled mail carrier's backlash syndrome? Nuclear retaliation is mild by contrast. EC<:-}
