Police Cars Now Equipped with Radiation Detectors

Crazy shit... They are going to be pulling over a lot of people just like the guy in that article... doubtful they will find any "terrorists"

What's next?

 

ive had to pass through them at scrap yards due to the (now closed) uranium mines


smashed up smoke detectors will set them off

 

Wow. I'm gonna have to stop carrying around my deconstructed smoke detectors.

I'd like to know the money spent vs results from patrol cars scanning for radioactivity...

 

Great scott! Marty we did it! We're back in 1984!

 

Wow. I feel more safe knowing about this.

 

when they have them people say its a waste of money

then when they investigate the dirty bomb that contaminates half of California and find out the material was shipped across the country in a 73 caprice wagon they say why the fuck doesnt anyone have detectors for this shit?

 

,,,.. ..,,,:sultan:

 

^ agree with bbad


I think it's ok for them to use the radioactive detectors. They will probably not detect any real problems, but in principle they could stop a dirty bomb or a nuclear device

while the cost may not justify the benefits, overall, the benefit to public safety justifies the potential hassle to innocent people, as long as they don't freak out on you for having had a legitimate medical procedure

I'm much more worried about journalists and legal observers being arrested at protests/ protest suppression tactics

that and the use of FBI and other security agencies to carry out political dirty work. FBI was digging dirt on Spitzer, most likely because the banks wanted him out of the way

 

dont worry, I got this..

 

... and why the fuck would anyone drive a 73 caprice wagon

 

because Americans do weird things

 

Or..... "get out of CIA black site waterboarding free" notes

It's neat that the sensors are that powerful, and creepy and retarded that they have them in the first place.

 

If it had been a real terrorist carrying material for a nuclear device, or whatever, I doubt the police would have even survived long enough to carry out a test, lol. Paranoia is just fear - never stops anything.

 

When I had my hip replaced I had some kind of test that required carrying around a card from the doctor in case I got stopped. Made me wonder if I really wanted the test. (This was in 2006)

 

Very stupid indeed!!!!!!

 

I gotta' say, Radiation detectors in squad cars,,, this is one of those moments when I have to say "I love Big Brother".

And I have to say for the sake I've spent the past 2 or 3 months on Facebook talking about alternative approaches to Nuclear fusion on NASA's and the White house wall WITHOUT a knock from my elder sibling,,, I'm breathing a bit easier as a rule, albeit a bit frustrated at yet another failure in the war for the 2nd amendment.

 

to run people over? To be better protected from gun fire? To fuck your mother in? Plenty of reasons..
