Can any Freeper shed some light on this
A Buddy of mine was down in T. J. this weekend, That being tiajunna Mexico Upon his return as he was going though customes he showed his I.D. and that of his wife that was with him The customes Agent looked at a beeber like device. And asked which one of them had a stress test "He had one the week before He was stuned and asked how the agent knew and the agent said its best you dont know and he let them cross no big deal
Beebers bring tiajunna stress. Every customes agent would be stuned by this
Yup - he must have had a nuclear stress test, where they inject thallium into your blood. I guess the agents have some pretty decent geiger/gamma-ray detectors.
LOL
JEEEZ dead...LOL!
I know my beeber is stuned.
Now that's not nice. . . :)
I'm thinking the same thing and I'm also pretty impressed that they have small devices that are sensitive enough to detect it.
It's actually Tijuana.
No, I never heard of this.
It's a reasonable guess that the customs officials are looking for any nuclear material.
But I doubt that they are so ultrasensitive to be able to detect the miniscule amount of radiation people get during a stress test.
It's interesting info, though.
If they were looking for radiation, I am glad they are doing that.
Of course any terrorist worth his salt will go across the border at some other location, where there is no official border crossing, but we need to check everything.
You are so right.
Thats it, sometimes called a gamma scan. I had one of these done, it supposedly leaves some trace radioactivity for a week or so, I had no idea they could detect it though! This is interesting!
Do you mean a thallium heart stress test? And it's a week later? That'd be some geiger counter, but anything's possible. It usually flushes from the system pretty quickly, or so I was told when I had mine.
I remember a while back, some smuggler, who normally smuggled illegal aliens actually contacted the CIA or FBI or some US agency ( they probably had some "arrangement"), that 5-6 Middle Easterners wanted him to smuggle them into the US, and what got their attention, is that these men said, they wanted to keep something refrigerated in the process -- biological weapons???
There was no follow up on the news. (It was in a legitimate newspaper)
Don't go to the shower, yet. Tay stuned for more infermashun on border-beebers.
Linda Vester on FoxNews interviewed a guy yesterday who said Osama's group acquired up to 20 suitcase size nuclear weapons around 1996 and some of those have already made their way into the US.
Several of the raised alerts emphasized radiation detection devices in NYC and Washington, DC.
"Border-beebers" would be a stuning name for a punk band!
Yes, I heard of someone being pulled by authorities over locally when the radioactive material from his stress test was detected as he was driving by!
how about the rump rangers from the 80s
git yur beebers ouver hier.
