I agree with you John. Taking actions that have no merit only serves to give the 

"perception" reality and validity. If I recall, this discussion also occurred after the 

Tokaimura accident, where the local government took external measurements where 

there was no possibility of measurement, nor were they measuring for the 

appropriate type of radiation. We as a profession need to stop taking actions solely 

to pacify a population, when there is absolutely no benefit, and more importantly, no 

scientific merit.
