Hi! Jane/ Robert/ Allan, Do you mean scanned with X-Rays, intended to see what is in the mail or some other radiation, such as Gamma, intended to kill bacteria and like little beasties?
I doubt if the the normal X-Rays used, would significantly effect most seeds. When you go through an Airport Security, both you and your baggage go through this sort of thing. Irradiation is usually aimed at bacteria, virus and fungi. If this was being done, there would not be grounds for the Anthrax Scare, but I suspect that is just a beatup by the US Government, rather than a reality. If there was a routine process on the mail, that was a risk to the viability of seeds, there would be an obligation to warn users, as the mail order distribution of seeds is an established industry.
