Homeland Security "New" standard for Radiation Gear hints at what's to come: NEUTRON attack

For months, I have been researching various radiation meters because I have concern about the long-term effects of the Fukushima triple-meltdown and its pollution reaching us – and accumulating – here in the USA.

Traditionally, when people wish to measure for ionizing radiation, the kind that can harm humans, they measure for one of the THREE common types Alpha, Beta and Gamma.

There’s a boatload of different radiation meters; different sizes, shapes, sensitivities. Of all the meters I have researched, most measure Beta and gamma radiation. A few Alpha and Beta. Fewer still measure all three, Alpha, Beta and Gamma. Most of these meters run in the price range of $300 – $700 and take about ten minutes to completely “count” radiation in any given spot.

The more expensive meters, costing $2500 – $8000 count far faster, reaching a full reading in as little as 2.5 seconds.

Then, quite by accident, I happened upon a V E R Y expensive meter ($25,000 – $35,000) which touted its compliance with the new standards adopted by the Department of Homeland Security. What does this meter measure?

Gamma and . . . . . . . . . NEUTRON!

I couldn’t help but wonder why in the world DHS would be concerned about NEUTRON radiation. So I researched it and found that it is far-and-away the single most dangerous type.

It is emitted by nuclear fission at nuclear power plants and by nuclear bombs. Obviously, mankind was able to weaponize it into a Neutron Bomb, whose “sales pitch” was that it would leave the buildings intact, but kill all the humans in the area attacked. (Oh, Gee, great “sales pitch.”) To my knowledge, no one has ever actually used one, but do we really know?

Anyway, what has me concerned is that our “trusty” government is now acquiring these new types of detectors. Clearly that means they believe a Gamma or NEUTRON problem is expected in the future.

Since the ONLY people in the world who have NEUTRON weapons are governments, including ours here in the USA, is it possible there’s some sick plan afoot, deep in the bowels of government, to use such weapons against us? I mean, think about it: Not even the most-well-funded “terrorist” could develop or deploy a Neutron Bomb, so why in the world would DHS be requiring their gear to be able to measure such radiation unless they know someone is planning to use such a weapon?

Your thoughts?
