If this was the article regarding the NEST teams then the answer is yes. It takes quite a bit of dedication on their part to be ready for the potential of a nuclear threat by terrorists. I was quite amazed at the discreetness of team members as they went through a "drill" to locate an 'bomb'. Lots of neat gadgets: geiger counters in attache cases and the like. Eric M.
