Radioactive Flight

Its amazing, given the security today at airports, individuals are able to smuggle radioactive material into aircraft :D

They usually wait for the incident to happen before enforcing the policy. This way, they can ensure that the exact same incident will not repeat itself, although there are an almost infinite number of other possibilities.

Do airport screening systems actually catch radioactivity? I was standing in line one time when I saw a guy who I thought was radio active: He was standing in line with two wires going into his ears, just shaking and wiggling and boogeying, etc. I thought he was dancing to his own music, until I realized that the wires were just coming from a standard 120V outlet. Guess he was just being electrocuted. Then I went back to reading.

I'm a bit confused as usual. I'm guessing that this radioactive material was ingested and all of these "radioactive" sites they have found were probably places he tool a leak? :confused: Great, just what wee need while waiting in line at airport security.

"Please place all of your carry on luggage on the conveyor belt and drop your drawers. For your convenience we will be piping the sounds of babbling brooks and waterfalls through our airport PA system." :eek:

:p

They aren't giving much informtaion though. Given that pretty much everything on this planet is radioactive to some degree what is their cut-off point for deciding that the five sites are radioactive. Are we talking trace amounts of highly radioactive particles (such as those used in coal traces etc.), or are we talking someone who's just been released from hospital after being given iodine-131?

From what was said on the Glenn Beck show a week or so ago, the Radioactive material is so radioactive that, in the most minimal quantities it is lethal. While he was alive after being poisened, his sweat, saliva, etc... and not just his excratory system, was radioactive enough whereby any casual contact with him could be hazardous to someones health.


He was, for a while, toxic soup.

Radiation is a very unpleasant death. In the right quantities it can mean many days of suffereing.

Either way, I hope he lifted the toilet seat first.
