I'd put a much higher priority on this issue than on a chase for people 

giving 23 microcuries of Tc99m when the Rx said 20.  While we certainly  

have a professional obligation to see that the regulations are complied 

with, we also have an obligation to encourage resources to be applied where 

they can do the most good.  Keeping radiography sources under appropriate 

controls certainly fits that bill.
