The symmetry of diprotons leads to dramatic features in the {sup 2}He({gamma}{searrow},{ital pp}) beam polarization asymmetry that are very different from those of deuteron photodisintegration. Calculations using realistic Faddeev wave functions show that striking features should persist for {sup 1}{ital S}{sub 0} {ital p}-{ital p} pairs imbedded in {sup 3}He, and these challenge the simple interpretation given to recent {sup 3}He({gamma},{ital pp}){ital n} measurements. {copyright} {ital 1996 The American Physical Society.}
