QuoteWASHINGTON (CBS DC) – Helicopters have been conducting radiation tests above portions of the Washington, D.C. area using remote gamma radiation sensing technology.
Nuclear Security Helicopters Testing Radiation Levels Above DC Area (http://washington.cbslocal.com/2013/01/05/nuclear-security-helicopters-testing-radiation-levels-above-dc-area/)
I still insist it's a MIB operation. ;D
I take it that setting Nick up with Azuria is a bad idea?
*pause...thinks*
A very bad idea...
*starts packing bags to live in remote location* I blame the heat brain doesn't function well in 40C
So they're saying they can detect a suitcase nuke hidden in a building just by flying over the city and scanning it?
Well, depending on certain factors, gamma pretty much goes through everything except the densest material, so they'd see it:

Not to say you couldn't shield the case... but the carrier might have been exposed to it and HE/SHE would emit the gammas for a bit... But they're gonna blow it up anyway, so they won't care much about that whole being irradiated bit. :p
/It's all very complicated, I'm sure.
