RE: ABCNEWS.com: Hundreds of Radioactive Devices Missing

[Jack_Earley@RL.GOV]

I don't remember the details of the boy who stole the construction sign. Was

he ever prosecuted for the theft, and who paid for the $200,000 cleanup?

Ironic that they would then ask how hard is it for a criminal to obtain a

radioactive device, and cite for their example a machine that sat in a pawn

shop for a year where it could have been "purchased" by anybody. I had the

impression that journalists as a group were liberal anti-nukes (is that

redundant?). Maybe I was wrong and there's just a good number of them that

are stupid.
