Inhalation would probably be the most effective way of delivering a dose from an alpha-emitter like Po-210. If it were placed on documents handed to the victim in an envelope, and he pulled them out of the envelope over a plate of food, he would inhale some of the isotope and the rest would fall on the food. If he had any cuts or open sores on his hands, more could enter that way. The paper of the envelope would protect the bearer, if he were careful, from exposure and would shield the isotope from being detected by radiation sensors.
