B.S. Those detectors were set off merely by a high level of anti-nuke hysteria.

All isolated incidents.

I dunno. There were reports that several of them were glowing, and that two of them had spoons and forks clinging to their backs as they left the restaurant. Sounds like we should check them out, especially the little kid with the gills.

The kids with the gills were no big deal, just your average, every day extraterrestrials. They get a lot of them coming through O'Hare. The glowing ones were cause for alarm, however.

I don't see what airports they are talking about from Japan side. I know most are from Narita, but if any are from Kansai setting off the alarms, things are really bad.

Of course they would. They are calibrated for the background radiation where they are located at. They would be set off if someone came from a naturally high-background radiation area too.

Heck, I when I got a PET scan they gave me a little wallet card to hand to any "security forces" who might detain me with the dose and the isotope on it, and I stayed local!
Silly, silly people.

The name is Gojira. I eat atomic radiation, glow in the dark and breathe fire. Next stop, Chicago.

I am sure if I wore my old radium dial wrist watch it would set it off.

Most certainly. My military issued lensatic compass (Which has radium to make the tic marks glow) sets it off. I got nailed in an airport screening when I returning from mid-tour leave, going back to Iraq. While wearing DCU's.

Missed my flight, and got dinged an additional day of leave :grr:
