[ RadSafe ] " Technology to detect radiation has progressed "

[ROGERS, Brent]

And presuming you have a pretty good idea what the answers are to all those
questions you would ask, would you prepare for that contingency, or would
you ignore it?  Is that such a hard question?

I would ask, what problems have occurred at other such
events?  What is the likely of people getting sick
from food poisoning, of fights between drunk parents,
etc.  What REALISTIC treats do the Federal and state
law enforcement agencies see? How many radiological
bombs have been set off at public events?  

And your responses to my questions?
