Secret Search for 'Dirty Bombs'
Secret Search for 'Dirty Bombs'
"With New Year's Eve celebrations and college football bowl games only days away, the U.S. government last month dispatched scores of casually dressed nuclear scientists with sophisticated radiation detection equipment hidden in briefcases and golf bags to scour five major U.S. cities for radiological or 'dirty bombs,' according to officials involved in the emergency effort."
Ok, so they hide the guys with Geiger counters or whatever, but not the guys with large and scary guns in the subway. Why one and not the other? Why not have a man with a large sign that says, "I can detect radiation with this gadget. If you have a dirty bomb, please go somewhere else. Thanks."
