Radiation Found on British Airways Planes
Do any of you find this the least bit interesting? Honestly, I haven't been following it closely, but I am concerned over what is really going on in Russia among the governments elite.
Any thougts, concerns?
You wanna go out for sushi, Graybeard? How does 4-6 weeks sound to ya? ;-)
I studied Russia in a poly sci class last year. The path that they are taking under Putin is very disturbing. The switch to capitalism has been very tumultuous for Russia, and under Putin they seem to have traded freedom for stability. He has put Russia on a path back to Soviet-style rule.
in soviet russia.....
on that site this caught my eye
Quote:In comparison, Amercium-241 is a similar toxic Alpha radiation emitter and instead of a half life of 138 days like Polonium-210 has, it has a half life of over 450 years.
It is far more toxic - and there is 10 times more than the 'exempt quantity' amount in every smoke detector in your home.

That whole disclaimer/clarification on their website is pretty interesting. They're making it clear that the quantities they sell are not toxic, but they also have some nifty suggestions for more efficient poisoning. Thanks!

well it says he worked at area 51, which is a military base. i dont see anything about him having reverse engineered UFOs tho.
What is the radiation risk to those that came in contact with the guy? I see where Brittish Airways has alerted 33,000 passengers. Wow
From what I understood yesterday, the only risk is if you ingest the polonium. I think a lot of the panic going on is overreaction.
