A report on those yellow radiation scanners they put in a year or so ago--
New technical tests last year found that the machines, known as Advanced Spectroscopic Portal monitors, detected potential nuclear threats slightly
better under limited circumstances than existing gear at border crossings. But the new monitors cost $822,000 each, more than twice as much as the
equipment now in use, the GAO said.
i'll take "slightly better" over slightly worse..... it's only money and it seems a 3rd stimulus is in the works to spend some more of our
money........
Spending Fed Bucks
