We study the decay to the equilibrium state for the solution of the linear Boltzmann equation in the torus, by allowing that the non-negative cross section can vanish in a subregion X of the domain, with positive Lebesgue measure. We give a counterexample which shows that the asymptotic rate of convergence to equilibrium cannot be better than t^{-1/2} in the general case and identify the necessary and sufficient condition on X that guarantees the exponential decay to equilibrium.
