That merits a citation with some details. Otherwise means nothing.

Travelers who show signs of radiation sickness are being referred to health authorities for proper treatment.

Oh, great. I hope they are just co-incidental symptoms.

"The radiation at O’Hare was coming from a routine medical shipment that was bound for Mexico.

"U.S. Customs said the radiation test was positive, but at no time was the radiation at unsafe levels."

"The scan lasted about 15 minutes and no passengers were detained."

"The airport was performing a random security check, but now all planes from Japan are being screened. American Airlines said the check at the gate is routine, and passengers might not even know they were being screened for radiation."

“It means nothing whatsoever,” Heartland Institute Science Director Jay Lehr said. Lehr is a proponent of nuclear energy and an expert in the field. He said that the radiation measurements were miniscule, and several hundred times less than amounts that could potentially cause harm to people."

This may be a stupid question but is the media actually TRYING to cause a panic???? Geez, 48 Americans died in coal mining accidents in 2010 and they hardly noticed.

And, again, see my #10.

That report means little, other than to pump up the fear mongering that has been the main theme of Western reporting on this story.
