[ RadSafe ] Re: First Ever Intentional Hormetic X-Ray

One of the purposes of government is to protect its
citizens, and it runs the gamet.  Following the
Triangle Shirtwaist Factory in NYC, child labor laws
and fire safety codes were put into place.  Recently,
you have EPA requiring remedication to 25 mrem annual
exposure limits.  From the most serious hazards to the
truely trivial.

The application of science to make laws is not
unusual.  Law makers are responsive to those groups
that are the most vocal.
