How to Know If Your Package Has Been Exposed to X-Rays

X-rays examine the unseen without opening a container. Security agents scan travelers and their luggage for hidden weapons. They also X-ray packages for security purposes. Usually packages that have been transported by aircraft or sent to the White House and other government buildings are X-rayed to screen for bombs and to irradiate the contents to prevent the spread of biological weapons. You can learn if a package has been X-rayed by determining how it traveled and where.

      Find out where the package originated. If the package came overnight from a location within your city, it was not exposed to an X-ray. If the package arrived overnight from overseas or a domestic location farther away than a reasonable driving distance, it was X-rayed before being transported by aircraft. Confirm the destination for the package. If the package was delivered inside a government building, security personnel X-rayed it.

      Examine the contents of the package. If the package contains undeveloped film, X-raying would have ruined it. Attempt to develop the film. If you cannot develop it, then the package was definitely X-rayed.
