Radioactive patients set off subway alarms . (If you are not well, you're against us) Americans undergoing radioactive medical treatments risk setting off anti-terrorism sensors in public places, and subsequent strip searches by police, warn doctors at the Albert Einstein College of Medicine in New York. A 34-year-old patient who had been treated with radioactive iodine for Graves disease, a thyroid disorder, returned to their clinic three weeks later complaining he had been strip-searched twice in Manhattan subway stations. Christopher Buettner and Martin Surks report the case in a letter to the Journal of the American Medical Association.(more at: http://www.newscientist.com/news/news.jsp?id=ns99993150)

Jump To Comment: 1 2The international Herlad Tribune speculated at length on the use by the Stasi of radioactive material for tracking democracy activists in the bad bad forever gone old days.
Well it is good to know that we are being monitored for radioactivity.
I hope that it shall become a normal thing the sight of the local community geigercounter team made up of well mobilised elderly folk perhaps having a laugh and exchanging kind but stern words of wisdom to the youngsters all having babies of course and feeding them properly.
The link is for you my friends probably inscrutable, it´s estonian an ugraic tongue of North Eastern Europe. Lvoely place Estonia did the eurovision there, lots of blonde hair and unemployment and immigration and stuff lots of stuff and a Radio Liberty copyright website on the friendly relations with the rest of us sort of vibe, hmmm, Radio Liberty and the Stasi and the bad bad bad old days when activists were sprayed with radioactive material, but sure some of the technology was repackaged by a Nordic telecomunucations company and led to the vibrating alert revolution in handset communications the bad bad Stasi had carried geiger counters with vibrating alert in their pockets, they were the bad BAD BAD BAD BAAAAAAA-BAAAAAA sheppish days before the present crises of course.
some day we shall list our dead.
