Potassium Iodide

[Susan L Gawarecki <loc@icx.net>]

As I recall, potassium chloride is used as an example of natural

radioactivity because of the K-40.  I expect there would be a similar

instrument response to KI.  So, will people take a radioactive pill to

protect them from "deadly" radiation?  Publicize this fact just right,

and you could crash the fear-based KI-pill market.
