(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.

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) ... read full story / add a comment
