FW: Article: High Security Trips Up Some Irradiated Patients, Doctors Say

["Bruce Bugg" <obbugg@dmvs.ga.gov>]

In our hazmat transportation enforcement efforts, about 12 years ago we acquired some scintillation probes (Plastic scintillators, to avoid NaI thermal shock problems), hooked them into alarming count rate meters, and mounted them in patrol cars. Over the past several years, I have pulled over three thyroid patients just coming home from the hospital.
