One of the workers at the local Nuke plant would set off the radiation
detector that they scan everyone with when they enter the plant. Come
to find out he took a vacation in Europe and brought back some food
products that he was consuming. The products had enough radiation to
set off the alarms.

Scary, but read up on naturally radioactive places and find that their
incidences of cancer are lower than the rest of society's. I guess
that living with a higher than normal rad count beefs up your immune
system.

Speaking of alarms, my BS alarm went off and I was astounded to read
in my newspaper a few years ago about a local guy in Medford, OR who
set off a fire truck's radiation alarm as he passed by the truck in
his car. They chased him down (while the police caught up to them) and
he told them he had just had nuclear chemo at the local hospital. Them
rad monitor thangs be SENSITIVE! No wonder they tell you to stay away
from your partner and all kids for a week after nuke chemo.

Isn't it terribly strange that "radiation," which is used to _treat_
cancer, is now also getting blamed for _causing_ it?

Which does it do, cause it or cure it? Can you really have it both
ways?
