Ted --

Not only would many (I dare say most) professional health physicists 
take exception with your statement, so would others.  The CHP has been 
accepted by courts, in regulations, by state licensing authorities and 
regulatory bodies as evidence of competence.  Many jobs (civil service, 
for example) require the CHP which is considered by many to be analagous 
to the P.E.  This not to say that the certification process is perfect, 
but I daresay that the overwhelming majority -- virtually all -- of CHP's 
are qualified, competent and ethical.  But surely you knew all that.

I note that your name is absent from the list of CHP's.  Why not sit for 
the exam and join our ranks?  There is always room for another qualifed 
HP to become a CHP and demonstrate his/her capabilities.
