         Yes --- "especially happy."  These personal rad detectors will be 
causing so many false alarms . . . .  How about all the alarms from people 
walking by the stacks of fertilizer at the home and garden store?  I 
remember a posting here two or three years ago about all the rad from --- 
what was it --- the potassium?  There won't be enough jails to hold all the 
nuclear medicine patients who get smashed around and dragged off as 
suspected dirty bomb terrorists.  Federal prosecutors will have a heyday.
