I remember a lady bartender long ago about whom everyone told me, "Stay away from her, she's radioactive." I should have listened to them.

So suppose a guy with 2 grams of this powder mixes it with 50 pounds of concrete, throws the mix in the back of a truck, and drives down I-80 from Sacramento to Oakland, turns south on 880 through San Jose, then turns north on 101 to San Francisco.
Nobody notices the dust fluffing out of the back of the truck. They get it on their cars, travel into neighborhoods, businesses, etc. Like that Sevin dust you put under the house and let the ants track it back into the nests...
Seems to me like the concept of a dirty bomb is obsolete.

Have they found the delivery mechanism yet?
Loaded cigarette lighter? Binaca breath spray?
It would be hard to find, alpha particles dont penetrate hardly anything.
Has SY made out a contamination map yet?

It totally amazes me that NO one talks about the scary fact that this guy was a muslim, and he could possibly have been working on terrorist goals as described in the article below:
Trail of Polonium210, Jihad, suitcase nukes Spy Death by Nuclear Poisoning Tied to American Hiroshima
By Paul L. Williams Ph.D. & Lee Boyland Wednesday, December 6, 2006
The death of Alexander Litvinenko by radiological poisoning points to the possibility that the former Soviet spy may have been involved with Islamic terrorists in the preparation of tactical nuclear weapons for use in the jihad against the United States and its NATO allies. Litvenenko, a former KGB agent, died in London on November 23 after ingesting a microscopic amount of polonium-210.
In a deathbed statement, Litvinenko blamed Russian President Vladimir Putin for the poisoning--an accusation which the Kremlin has vehemently denied. The denial is fortified by the fact that polonium-210 is a very rare radiological substance that is man-made by bombarding Bismuth-209 with neutrons within a nuclear reactor. It is expensive to produce and difficult to handle.
When Russian officials resorted to nuclear poisoning in the past-- including the assassination of two Swiss intelligence officials who were engaged with Russia and South Africa in the nuclear black market--they relied on such readily available radiological substances as cesium-137 in salt form.
According to nuclear expert David Morgan, killing a spy or political dissident with a grain or two of polonium-210 is as ludicrous as shooting a rat with a howitzer.
Litvinenko, who was born an orthodox Christian, was a convert to Islam with close ties to the Chechen rebels. His last words consisted of his desire to be buried according to Muslim tradition.
In recent years, considerable attention has been paid to suitcase nukes that were developed by U.S. and Soviet forces during the Cold War. Reliable sources, including Hans Blix of the United Nation, have confirmed that bin Laden purchased several of these devices from the Chechen rebels in 1996. According to Sharif al-Masri and other al Qaeda operatives who have been taken into custody, several of these weapons have been forward deployed to the United States in preparation for al Qaedas next attack on American soil.
This brings us to the mysterious case of Litvinenko.
The neutron source or triggers of the suitcase nukes are composed of beryllium-9 and polonium-210. When these two elements are combined, the alpha particle is absorbed by the nucleus of the beryllium causing it to decay by emitting a neutron. Such triggers were a feature of early nuclear weapons in the U.S. and Soviet stockpiles.
Polonium-210 has a half-life of 138 days, necessitating the replacement of the triggers every six months. For this reason, the suitcase nukes are far from maintenance-free. In addition, the nuclear core of these devices emit a temperature in excess of one hundred degrees Fahrenheit - - further exposing the weapons to oxidation and rust. Small wonder that al Qaeda operatives including Adnan el-Shukrijumah, who are spearheading the American Hiroshima have received extensive training in nuclear technology.
Polonium-beryllium triggers are packaged in foil packs about the size of a package of sugar on a restaurant table. When the twin foil packages are crushed, the elements mix and the neutrons are emitted. A courier transporting nuclear triggers could have had a mishap causing the packages to rupture and a trail of contamination to occur.
Polonium-210 is a fine powder, easily aerosolized. Litvinenko could have inhaled the powder, or had a grain or two on his fingers when he ate the sushi.

...all seven members of the bar staff tested had shown a low level of contamination that carried no short-term health risks but a very small long-range cancer risk. Not good. That means others may have been exposed and they may also have a 'very small' cancer risk. I can see the bartender that worked the table or that served the drinks getting exposed, but all seven members of the bar staff ? Someone must have been radiating like crazy.
