Well, they sort of doin a 'vapourise everything in the way' kind of way :)
I just tried reading that excerpt. It's not very good. It's far too concerned about the medical effects - one of the main purposes of a dirty bomb is that it spreads panic and terror since nobody can see the invisible radioactive death in the air.
Besides, Strontium-90 is cool. It could create a mutant race of Johnny Alphas.
And could a helicopter-mounted sensor really pick up gamma rays? I'd have thought little things like inverse square laws, shielding and other sources would kinda render it useless.
