[ RadSafe ] Concerns Could Reduce Radiation Sensor Deployment

[Brent Rogers]

Bob

You've put me in a quandary about SDI's viability.  Should I believe the
FoxNews Colonels or the RadSafe Colonels?

Clayton is right about the limitations for SDI and for the sensors, but here
is an even bigger reason they are doomed to fail: The bad guys will take
steps to counteract them.

SDI: Dummy targets, flack, stealth design.

Sensors: avoid them.

SDI is actually a pretty good analogy.  It works, but only if there is only
one missile at a time and we know its coming and what its trajectory will
be. Detecting nukes at the border would be effective under similar
circumstances: If we know the terrorist is coming, when he's coming and
where, it will be no problem to identify the nuke he's carrying.

Yes, y'all,
"There is no technological solution to nuclear terrorism."

However, SDI did not work at first, but, gradually, missile defense does
work. It is now much less likely that Iran's Ayatollahs could bring their
12th Imam (and destruction of us hedonists) by A bomb via missile.
Continued effort might also enable detection in cargo containers, cars,
etc, although
 the usual bureacratic self-service will impede it, I agree.

I am pleasantly surprised that we have not had attacks of sarin, anthrax,
a-bomb, etc since 9/11,
as  predicted then. Could the Bush policy, attacking those supporting
alQaeda, and luring
alQaeda to Iraq (where it is largely beat down, alQaeda says) have
prevented attacks on us?

This metastasizing media  makes people sick by selection.
We are safe, but feel the dangers of the world impending, when exposed to
headlines.
Adrenalin release causes clots, exhaustion, heart attacks, etc.

Ergo  Avoid alarmists, but go on offense against declared attackers.
