RE: MEDHP-SEC: Article: High Security Trips Up Some Irradi
I bet the truck was stolen and the Troxler MSD was along for the ride. I
doubt that it was a terrorist threat.
I also assume the police just happened upon the vehicle. I would be
surprised that they would actually fan out throughout the city with there
meters looking for the device.

In NYC, there are many belt worn radiation detectors AND a few
spectrometers. Not everyone is armed w/ a field spec (or other hand
held spec unit). The police are identifying radiation and acting on
it. There may not be time to get the guy w/ the spec on the scene.
Did anyone read the NRC Event reports the other day? A Troxler MSD
was reported stolen with a vehicle in NYC. The vehicle was found by a
cop w/ a radiation detection device (the other story that shows the
process is working).
