A DC beat cop asked our group at our Walter Reed Support Our Troops Freep one night if any of us had gotten radiation treatment of some kind recently... I had - several months earlier - gotten a good dose of I-131 for my thyroid CA. I asked the cop what made him ask. He said “somebody” in our group had set off his radiation detector, which was attached to his belt and not much bigger than a pager or a cell phone.
“his radiation detector, which was attached to his belt and not much bigger than a pager or a cell phone.”
AKA.....Beeber.
Radiation detectors are more prevelant than I thought.
We went across the border the next day to eat lunch with some friends.
At the border crossing coming back we had a rude awakening.
As we pulled up to the booth about 12 agents surrounded the car and of course we were throughly searched.
