Your smoke detector has radioactive isotopes in it. Of course there is always the possibility that they can get ahlod of some really nasty stuff.
The real danger is the conventional explosion.
"The real danger is the conventional explosion."
Boortz was pretty impressed with the expert he was talking with. And the conventional explosion is nothing. A tiny particle of radiation is lethal, but not instantaneous. I don't know what it's called, but if you have a speck of this stuff in your yard, it's a hazard to you. Sure, a full blown nuke is worse. But I don't think Boortz was fearmongering when he invited that guest. Who knows? Maybe he was. FReegards....
