Radioactive Blade/Silverware???

Personally, I don't have a problem with it. After all I am being exposed to more radiation by sitting in front of my monitor

People can be incredibly stupid. A year or so ago a plant in La Porte Texas was going to receive a trainload of napalm. The morons around here rasied such a stink, they thought it was dangerous. The stuff is much more stable than gasoline(make some and try to light it with a match), yet they don't say a thing about the gasoline in there cars.
Yes this does affect me, the train tracks that it would use are about six miles to the north of my home. It's a good thing these people don't realize what the plant's alomg those tracks make and use.

Now, heres a thought : what if it become compulsory for ALL knives (and other "weapons") to be made from radioactive materials ?
Then there would be no need for metal detectors and each LEO could be issued with a radiation detector and would be able to "search" any citizen within a few metres.
Think of the crimes it would prevent.

For those with no sense of humour...

Food irradiation is another favorite hot topic for me. Countless people get sick every year from food-borne illness, many even die, and salmonella is not a pleasant illness to go through and certainly not a nice way to die. Every year we hear of food recalls and tons and tons of food (often meat) being destroyed because of concern that it might possibly have been contaminated at some point. All of these problems could be elliminated if we just irradiated the food. Many foods that today require costly, energy-consumptive refridgeration can be kept at room-temperature in sealed containers after irradiation. But, here in the US, people are scared that the process makes the food radioactive. It no more makes the food radioactive than sitting under an electric light makes me glow in the dark.
