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.

    Ya your right. We should wait to be fucked over, and then react to it. After all, the war on terror turned out oh so well.

    I hope you're not in charge of anything important Dnoyeb.

    So basically, -1 troll/offtopic is really slashdots way of saying "I hate that you thought of something before me."

    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.
