Is Mail X-Rayed?
Some of the mail that is sent through the United States Postal Service will pass through an X-Ray machine. There are no specific guidelines as to what may or may not be x-rayed, though mail sent to or through larger cities is likely to pass through an X-Ray machine.
If you have additional questions about X-Raying of items, contact your local Post Office.
Note: Marking a mailpiece "Do Not X-Ray" will not forgo the X-Raying of a mailpiece, and may result in the item being considered suspicious.
And yes, I followed the advice of my local PO,as you mentioned above and still do when it comes to sending tomato seeds.

Unfortunately, when talking about X-ray and roller problems, seldom, well actually I've never seen tomato seeds specifically mentioned.
