  7. ok, heres my two cents on Cell Phone Radiation Detectors Proposed to Protect Against Nukes · · Score: 1, Insightful
    The idea is good, but flawed.

    As someone has pointed out, the cellphones idea can be abused.
    But, I think that if this idea is improved upon, it could go somewhere.
    Even if we don't get chernobyl phones, somthing useful may come out of this.
    Although I am sick of this "In the post 9/11 world" attitude to everything that every single person on this earth must spend every single second of their lives worrying about being blown up.
    for god sake, ok 9/11 was terrible, it had unimaginable human cost, but if that had happened in algeria, who anyone care? short answer, no.
    the only reason it rules our lives now, and is the one size fits all excuse for everything is because it happened in america, the untouchable super-nation.
