Smoke sensors, antistatic brushes, certain watches, radiotherapy patients
on the street (they already set off airport alarms). And it's not exactly
illegal for unlicensed civilians to buy and posses small quantities of
radioactive material, you know.

Speaking of which, I'm wondering how much fun it must be to be an amateur
or professional chemist who for any reason handles nitrides... just how
much fun it must be at the airport.
