I wonder what the temperature is in Toronto today. It was -56* in Saskatchewan this morning.

NHS gets 'dirty bomb' equipment

The NHS is stepping up anti-terrorism measures with radiation detectors being issued to ambulance crews and hospital casualty departments that might have to cope with the aftermath of a "dirty bomb".
The other emergency services have already got the equipment and the government is also installing detectors at ports and airports.

Mini-detectors have been widely employed in US cities in recent weeks to guard against the threat posed by terrorists using conventional explosives to spread radioactive materials over a wide area.

The NHS has already stockpiled personal protection suits for use in emergencies, while 360 mobile decontamination units have been dispersed throughout Britain.

GPs will soon be sent action cards, helping them to identify patients who might have been exposed to "silent" chemical or biological weapons, and outlining the clinical response needed.

Government officials are considering whether they have sufficient supplies of vaccines, antibiotics and antidotes for nerve agents and radiation. They have talked to more than 40 drug companies about such counter-measures, but have still to determine whether other measures, including a new vaccine-production centre at Porton Down, in Wiltshire, are needed.

I'll tell you what. To me, it seemed a natural that this thread would go to chat, since after 15000 posts, the article was no longer the issue but rather people were chatting about speculation, rumors, conspiracies, theories, and all sorts of things. It was a campfire. Not that there is anything wrong with that, but to me that is what the chat forum should be and moving this here to help the chat forum become what it should be just made sense.

But you guys want it in the other forum? I'll reconsider and put it there. But don't turn this thread/ongoing discussion into a pain in the butt for me or the rest of the staff, ok? Thanks, LM

Tell ya what. Ruth was right when she said just google in Amerikkka and see what pops up. Not her exact words, I paraphrased. It was amazing and stomach churning.

I don't care where we are, just that, we are. :)

That is the biggest 3 year old kid, looks more like a 6 year old, to me, not that I'm an expert.
