Lance Cpl. John Udui, a 26-year-old native of Waimanalo, Hawaii, and Lance Cpl. Ronnie S. Garcia, a 21-year-old native of Premont, Texas, postal clerks, and Daya Bikram Gurung, a 45-year-old native of Nepal and a civilian X-ray technician, review the digital image of a parcel here July 26, 2006, looking for anything suspicious. 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.
