The thing we should all be concerned about is the fact that this “radio active material” (really an old radiation therapy machine from what I can see), is being so cavalierly transported thousands of miles. The truck could have just as easily been “hijacked” by a bunch of Muzzies bent on dropping this Cobalt 60 wrapped around some HE on an American city from a light plane.

And almost nobody is reporting the fact that the truck began its journey in Tijuana...

Yes, from the pictures of the crating, it looked as though it was from a hospital in Tijuana. It was simply an old radiation therapy machine that was being shipped to the Mexican repository. Really sloppy handling procedure for something that could be used with a devastating result as a component in a dirty bomb.
