The Stupid Bin

On the surface anyway, this looks like a pretty stupid idea:

USA Today leads with word that the Department of Homeland Security is looking into outfitting cell phones with equipment that could detect "radiological isotopes, toxic chemicals, and biological agents." If it's successful, officials are confident it could revolutionize the way the country detects and deals with a potential attack.

Can you imagine everyone running around with these detectors? If the police think they have a problem with false car and home alarms, imagine the multitude of nutbars running around yelling that they've detected a terrrasist attack !! when in fact they've detected their spouses pacemaker.
