NYC Wants to Ban Geiger Counters

Posted by CmdrTaco on from the what-you-can't-monitor-can't-hurt-you dept.

Ellis D. Tripp noted a village voice article about attempts in NYC to pass a law requiring permits for air monitoring devices including apparently geiger counters. I'm sure everyone will feel much safer not knowing anything.

    i took my gieger counter out and measured 350millirads.

    And... you know the count was accurate, how? Oh, wait - you don't. Real geiger counters are precision instruments that require regular maintenance and calibration.
