A dirty bomb is bad, but it's not as bad as people make it out to be. A dirty bomb isn't going to vaporize the eastern half of mass. I'm sure they'd have a pray err remembrance moment. and the speech writers would be busy tonight making a statement.

All a dirty bomb will do is spread some radioactive dust around. In concrete-and-glass downtown Boston, all that stuff gets washed down into the sewers and out to sea after the first heavy rain. The remainder can be taken care of with power washers
