To get this thread back on track:
The danger, as such, the knowledge that it is radioactive. I argue
that it is the knowledge that the material is radioacitve is what causes the
fear, which is the terror act. Exposure is something we, on this
list, have a knowledge of but the public, including the first responsers and
those making decisions on evacuation, do not.
While we need to educate the public, do not be surprised if the actions we
anticipate to be taken do not occur. A great number of us
are technically orientated in our knowledge and experience. Many of the
public are not, do not trust us who are technically savy, but will
believe those who they trust, like Cristy Brinkley.
