I have to agree with Brian here. Debka is not a
scientific website or list geared toward radiation
science. While Debka is a "washed" news site, and which
is suspect in terms of how it derives its news. While,
talking specifics with regards to detection
capabilities is not something that should be done in an
open source list, especially while not many people on
this list are screened or do the lists administrators
known why and who most are here or who are just
monitoring the list. All one has to do to join this
list is send in an e-mail. I have to muse. I monitor
several lists. One in particular which deals with
transportation security requires the requester to
identify themselves as to who they are and why they
wish to join the list. Most of what this list generates
is daily transportation security news articles. Nothing
in comparison to Radsafe.
Radsafe, does far more in radiation and nuclear
scientific related items and discussions. Heck why not
just tell anyone who send in a request to join how to
defeat a detector. We are sometimes are own worse enemy.
Homeland security starts at home, meaning right here.
