Big news! There are some gaps in our radiation monitoring system, some sites closed down for maintenance and the like. So, this is now a big deal, with the EPA and elected officials in a panic.
OK, some radiation manages to drift over the US. What are we going to do about it? Perhaps there's a big fall out shelter in some mountain in Colorado we can all run to. New flash, there's nothing much you can do about radiation, whether you know about it or not. I mean, there's no spray that will keep it off you.
However, panicking about possible undetected radiation is easier than fixing our economy, our failing schools, our crumbling infrastructure, our massive unemployment and our addiction to empire building on credit.
Excuse me while I yawn about the monitoring system.
