FEDS BLEW NUKE-SCANNER BUY By GEOFF EARLE http://www.nypost.com/seven/10182006/news/nationalnews/feds_blew_nuke_scanner_buy_nationalnews_geoff_earle.htm   October 18, 2006 -- The Department of Homeland Security used "incomplete and unreliable data" to buy radiation monitors for New York's port, and the machines frequently don't work right, according another report critical of the agency. DHS's cost-benefit analysis "does not justify [spending] $1.2 billion" on monitors to protect against a dirty bomb, the Government Accountability Office found. The agency hoped the machines could detect enriched uranium 95 percent of the time - but their detection rate was closer to 50 percent [pure chance], the report found. __._,_.___ Complete archives at http://www.sitbot.net/ Please let us stay on topic and be civil.
