This sounds suspiciously like, "Perception is reality."  Telling people that 

there's no danger for ALMOST [emphasis mine] all scenarios is NOT reassuring. 

Frankly it's more the Education Via the Boob Tube problem.



Many responders have NO formal RAD training, what RAD they do have may have 

come out of the cold war era, many are only equipped with the CDV-700 series 

instrumentation that as designed for use in a post atomic detonation 

environment. Therefore they don't have anymore real knowledge than your average citizen. 

You have all discussed the shortfalls in the education of the public, 

responders are at best a notch above on a global scale.



I consider myself to be fairly well educated in this area as far as 

responders go and I am woefully ignorant.
