I had one of those tests last year, but no one told me I would be “emitting radiation”.
Why they should place one of these agents in every bus, car, home, office, factory, school, church & outhouse just to be safe! /I am being half sarcastic.
Years ago my dad (RIP) was stopped at the U.S.A. border at the Detroit/Windsor tunnel. I had taken my dad and mom (RIP) from Michigan over to the Windsor casino. We were stopped coming back into Michigan at the booth and the agent asked if anyone had recently done testing for a heart condition. My dad answered yes. He proceeded to let us through. It’s been close to 10 years since that event.
I had a bone scan a couple years ago, and I was given a card to carry just in case a scanner picked up the radiation.
“Federal agents stormed at train at Chicago’s Ogilvie Transportation Center to investigate a possible nuclear triggered by a passenger who had taken a nuclear stress test early in the day.”
Six munthz ago I cundn’t spel Jurnylist. Now I are won.
For God’s sake! Where do these people learn to ‘write’?
I recently had a cardiac stress test and the nuclear med tech showed me how “hot” I was by having me walk by a radiation detector which crackled as I passed. She also asked if I planned to fly in the next few days so they could give me a card verifying my test. Nice to know security officials are looking for radiation in public areas, but don’t you think that terrorists would be smart enough to use radiation shielding to prevent detection?
Publicity stunt for TSA funding.
Much like ATF in Waco.
I take that train quite often, depending on when I leave my office.
Here’s a question no one has bothered to ask: what are the odds of a TSA “VIPR” team showing up at a Chicago train station on a Saturday?
From what I’ve read, there are only 37 of these teams across the country. They have been previously spotted at highway checkpoints (such as the “training exercise” along I-20 in Atlanta in 2011, where they were searching all trucks at the height of rush hour) and more recently, at some of the NFL playoff games. They are an asset that seems to deploy only for high-profile events, in response to perceived threats and for training.
I’ll assume that one of the teams is based in the Chicago area. But it’s hard to believe they would be training on a Friday or Saturday evening, given the costs of overtime, comp time, etc. It’s a fair question to ask the real reason behind their deployment and the actual threat they were looking for when this attorney triggered their sensors.
Sounds like a case of stuned beeber on the loose.
