#4 I don't get the dirty bomb gig. If you take a 55 gallon drum of mildly radiactive medical waste and blow it all over a five mile square area, won't it be every bit as dangerous as the glowing hands on your wristwatch? I may just be stupid.

#6 SH -- you're right, but most people don't know that. The general public has been trained to fear anything "radioactive", and it's their reaction that would make a dirty bomb so devastating.

#7 The government should just issue dosimeter tags in the high potential areas, and let folks just figure out whether exposure is a concern.

#8 John, are you sure the American public is ready for dosimeters? I question our collective intelligence every time I watch a stewardesse explain how to lock and unlock a seat belt - or accidently channel surf through MTV.

#9 ANY action by the government that doesn't cost billions and take years will be viewed by many as a cover-up. Seriously, I don't think the public can be re-educated on the reality of radiation, at least not in a timespan shorter than generations.

(Don't believe me? Think about Erin Brokovich and the load of crap she was able to peddle to a jury.)

#10 The government should just issue dosimeter tags

GeeBuss... are you serious? LOL. Perhaps we can build in a Carb Counter to make it easier to tolerate. Turn that puppy purple after 30 grams o'fat/day.

#11 A dosimeter will be real useful after exposure to radiation. "Oh, look here! You have received a toxic level of radiation! Where ya been these last 30 days?"
