Tokyo Passengers Trigger U.S. Airport Detectors, N.Y. Post Says
By Alan Purkiss - Mar 17, 2011 12:08 AM CT

Radiation detectors at Dallas-Fort Worth and Chicago O’Hare airports were triggered when passengers from flights that started in Tokyo passed through customs, the New York Post reported.

Tests at Dallas-Fort Worth indicated low radiation levels in travelers’ luggage and in the aircraft’s cabin filtration system; no passengers were quarantined, the newspaper said.

Details of the incident at O’Hare weren’t immediately clear, the Post said.

Well they will be easy to find out in public. Just wait until after dark and look for the glow.

Damn!



I wonder if those sensors are sensitive enough to detect levels of radiation lower than what's safe for humans to be around.

I sure hope so.

I think they go off if any level is detected.

This just in from PR&C!

Apparently nuclear radiation is now good for you. So when the detectors alarm due to radiation, it should be treated as a "YOU'RE AWESOME" alarm.
