Thank you Sandy!  I've been saying this for quite a while in reference to
radiation protection standards and a number of other issues (air bag
injuries, drunk driving checkpoints, etc.).  I'm glad I'm not the only one
who's familiar with the concept of benefit analysis.  Unfortunately, our
politicians and a majority of our bureaucrats are more interested in
looking good politically than in spending our tax money for maximum effect.
