Yesterday I went to the campus post office and sent my SLAC roommate his badge. The SLAC badge has a dosimeter, and that is the only thing the laboratory keeps after you finished. I guess without a dosimeter you cannot get into the radiation hazard areas. So my roommate gave me his to return because he was leaving early. At the post office I had to fill a US Customs form estating the value of what was inside the envelope.
An ID badge from one of the most famous and important laboratories in the nation: priceless. I quickly jotted down $0.50.
