What do you bet they will be invited to the U S for treatment and then allowed to become citizens??

"Highly deadly" yet the quacks tell you it's "therapy"..

 

[Fast Eddie]

Oops! That's a high price to pay.

It's hard to sneak across the border if you glow in the dark.

Tried to make a quick buck, now their f@@@@d.

"The material was from obsolete radiation therapy equipment at a hospital in the northern city of Tijuana and was being transported to nuclear waste facility in the state of Mexico, which borders Mexico City."

So we have a huge concentrated supply of nuclear waste south of our open border? Who they got minding that dirty bomb material in the cartel infested country? Where do they keep it, an old warehouse on the edge of town or something?

That is very disturbing.
Maybe they will make dishes and cookware out of it.
Remember the radioactive fiesta ware they pawned off on the US.
I use to use it to test my radiation detectors :-/

I heard the story abut cheap flat ware from China that was coming up radioactive! I guess we can't make forks and knives in America anymore. Especially after they get minimum wage bumped up another few dollars.

Is it only the orange fiesta ware that is mildly radioactive? I read that it had to do with the color of the glaze they used, some compound that made it orange was a bit radioactive.

They have completely negated the need for night sights. Black sights against a glow in the dark target. Something new.

 

[GOG]

This is incredible! These guys are actually overqualified for a Darwin Award.

That's why the entire west coast shows up so well on the night-time satellite pictures . . .

Scary to think how little security must've been involved with the transportation of this stuff - and likely where it is housed. Then again - how much crap like this is on American highways without general public's knowledge?

They were made from the clay at a uranium mine.

Thanks.

Thanks.

People ate off them for a few yrs before the finally discovered they were hot :-/

Some old vintage clocks with Radium dials had little glass vials of touch up paint stored in the back of the cases.
My Grandmother died from Leukemia after WW2 because of her war time job of painting instruments and clock dials.
The preferred method was to use your lips to shape the paintbrush while working with the Radium infused paint.

Maybe this was Mexico's version of Fast and Furious? Mas Rapido y Furioso.....

The Mexican government planted some material on purpose, sent in some "straw buyer" goons to take the stuff back to the cartels, but the cartels were smarter and had insiders in among the Federales to tip them off, so they let the donkeys pack the stuff until they got caught.

Yep, sounds like something El Jefe Obama and Senior Holder would plan up for their buddies in Olde Mexico....for later use as "dirty bombs" in the US creating panic and inciting fear mongering and posturing to assist in the complete government takeover of DHS for security reasons?

Just my dos centavos.
