[ RadSafe ] Fwd: Radiation Detectors Inadequate, New York Official Says [TOO MANY FALSE ALARMS]

[Gerry Blackwood]

I have one thing to say here ...DoH! 
 
NYC PD Brass has known about this problem for a very long time... They have been told several times that a HP that is TRAINED with the cops should be part of the Task Force to advise on radiation situations is needed. Not someone who sits behind a desk, not some one who is with other agency.....but someone the cops can relate to and who is on the street with them. The PC and the Chiefs in NYC cross the fingers and toes and pray nothing happens..... If I hear one more Deputy PC say he thinks that the Atlas Drills prevent terrorism I think I will just about scream...  Every cop knows that its Security Theater..... and until we get hit again my personal opinion is that it will remain Security Theater.............. Besides it still does nothing for the HEU problem.......
