This 'Dirty Bomb' BS is just that Bull S#$%. 

I agree that we may be hit with "dirty bombs", but "dirty bombs" (other than true Nuclear 
Weapons which quite possibly might be hidden in an oil tanker owned by Osama Bin 
Ladden, et. Al.) are closely akin to lighting a smoke bomb firework in a theatre and yelling 
FIRE. Far more people will be injured by the mass confusion caused, at least in part, by 
every Emergency Management organization trying to show just how fast they can respond to 
a radiation incident. I don't want to make light of the potential at all, but there is far more 
dangerous items entering the USA every day (Gasoline, Diesel Fuel, Ammonium Nitrate). 
Timothy McVegh (sp) did far more destruction with diesel and Ammonium Nitrate than 
anyone has ever done with a dirty bomb. Why would Al Queda go to all the trouble & 
expense to seek a NRC/Agreement State license, when they could do far more with a 
Timothy McVegh (sp) style weapon in downtown NYC, Washington DC, Chicago, etc. 
Remember that these could just as easily be set off at a given time by dedicated Terrorists 
Nut Jobs in the majority of big cities in the USA. Why don't we spend the resources currently 
being spent preparing for dirty bombs on devices at the US Ports to detect nuclear 
materials? This way we stop true Nuclear Weapons as well as dirty bombs. 

As an American living in the South, I WILL BE FREE, so Osama Bin Ladden, 
Al Queda or anyone else out there, just bring it on. You ain't seen nothing till this Eagle gets 
pissed-off.
