Lance Cpl. John Udui, a 26-year-old native of Waimanalo, Hawaii, hauls a suspected parcel to a nearby search area July 26, 2006, after a suspicious object was spotted in a digital X-ray image taken by the RapiScan 527. The post offices here and at seven other locations throughout Iraq and Afghanistan are utilizing X-ray machines to search for items that include ammunition (live rounds and spent casings), grenades, shrapnel and magazines for weapons. The systems now in place serve as a precautionary safeguard throughout Iraq and Afghanistan, providing a more accurate way to ensure all mail is thoroughly scanned - and searched if necessary - for contraband before receiving a final X-ray at Bahrain.
