Let's be real. If a deranged person steals a used fuel rod and grinds it up, he's a stick of dynamite away from a terror weapon. So you hire Barney Fife and his two brothers to stand outside the Perfect Nuclear Waste Storage Facility in eight-hour shifts around the clock. And you pay him 10 bucks an hour. Somehow I don't feel safer. Especially since the dirty bomb spreads waste with a half life in the hundreds of thousands of years. I'd rather not trade strip mining for that.
Secret Police. Those two words sum it up for me. Watchers on every street--it doesn't matter whether they are paid informants or software. I don't want to live in a country where the secret police watch my every move.
