If you fancied a day off work, or a few even, could you call in to work and say you had been in one of the places they have found radioactive traces ? Who would know if you were telling porkies or not ?
Would you then risk having half the Army and Air Force knocking down your door when your boss reported it to the authorities!!! And you'd be there watching Tricia in your jimjams eating a marmite sarnie!!
