(Facepalm)...You had ONE job....
Misleading. Had to read deep down to find out they only lost their source check samples.
They will find it when the perps are found fried. I can hope, can’t I?
This probably is not a big danger since these calibrating samples were probably emitters of very low levels of radiation. It would appear to me that you would want to be able to pick up the slightest of radioactive particulars so there would be no need for more powerful emitters.
Of course my Nuclear Engineering license was revoked last year.
The next day a flashy silver car going just over 80 mph on the local interstate, up and disappeared.
All that was found was a California license plate still spinning...
Plutonium used to be regularly used in certain consumer and medical products back in the 60s and 70s.
Reminds me of the time I left a doomsday device in the back of my pickup.
Never did find out where that went.
There are laws and regulations that subjects must follow for the safe handling of radioactive materials. Seems tha they don’t apply to apparatchiks.
Real genius. High crime area, so they leave valises, clearly visible, in the back seat of the car, overnight. Heaven forbid they exert themselves and carry them inside the hotel. Brilliant. I’ll bet they were shocked to find the car had been broken into. Probably got a promotion.
The “security experts” don’t deserve the title.
Well, they didn’t profile the neighborhood where they stayed.
Mable! Your son has made the cat glow again!
Misleading and inflammatory language. The missing items are check sources used to verify correct operation of the radiation detection instruments. The quantities are so small that they are considered exempt, i.e they can be transported and handled without NRC paperwork. Nobody is going to build a bomb, dirty or otherwise from these check sources. Nor is there any hazard associated from proximity to these sources.
Was one of them J. Frank Parnell?
“I asked them not to look in my trunk..”
LMAO.
If no urban youths turned up cooked from radiation exposure it was no mere smash and grab in fact it sounds oddly like the suspicious “thefts” of laptops that have occurred over the course of attempts to investigate associates of Hillary Clinton, implication being that it was not in fact a theft but a drop.
Any reason they couldn’t simply rent a vehicle that has a TRUNK? Or is that asking too much?
