Or even worse ... Pu-238. With Pu-238, you don't even have the benefit of
that nice 60 keV gamma / X-ray that you do with "aged" Pu-239.

ASSUMPTION: The radioactive material of interest would create a high level radiation field. REALITY: Many dangerous radioactive materials would not create a high level radiation field, for example, Pu-239. Thus, even a low level radiation field could indicate a problem.
