'Dirty Bombs' Crossed U.S. Borders in Test

[MikeyCarson]

WASHINGTON - Undercover investigators slipped radioactive material — enough to make two small "dirty bombs" — across U.S. borders in Texas and Washington state in a test last year of security at American points of entry.

Radiation alarms at the unidentified sites detected the small amounts of cesium-137, a nuclear material used in industrial gauges. But U.S. customs agents permitted the investigators to enter the United States because they were tricked with counterfeit documents.

its really funny you bring this up. i was at the airport, and they pull me and my friend steph aside. they put us in a line, and they say we have to go through this machine that basically puffs air at you. it is supposed to check to radioactive material or other illegal substances. its a start i guess

It reminds me of when I went to cancun....yea, there are millions of tourists through there every year, but the "US Customs" center, what a joke....they checked an ID...big whooptie doo.....never went through bags or anything any differently than a normal security camera does for a domestic flight....I knew of 10-12 people on our flight that smuggled things back they shouldn't have....
