One of these days these idiots are going to blow up a suspicious package and find out too late it was a shielded box of cobalt 60 powder or something much worse.

Don't you think this many packages will be hard for them to give the standard "move along, nothing here" admonitions?

Boston Harbor closed to recreational boats.

Beacon Hill, Back Bay, etc., are the places they are concentrating on.

Cesium 137 would be that "something much worse." However, I think one of the things the remote 'bots have is radiacs as well to make sure they don't blow one of those up by mistake.

Is it not likely that the robot is equipped with sensors to detect such substances?
