Thank you. I have written to the TV news program and asked them two 
questions:
1. Was the detector indeed a Geigercounter?
2. What was measured?

If I get a response - I'll let you know. My original point, however, was how 
this TV news report may be _perceived_ by the general public (cancer risks 
in relation to ionizing radiation).
