CHICAGO - Trace amounts of radiation from Japan have been detected in Chicago, CBS News station WBBM-TV reports.

Travelers coming in from Japan on Wednesday triggered radiation detectors at O'Hare International Airport as they passed through customs. Only very small amounts of radiation were detected.

"We are aware of the radiation," said Chicago Aviation Department spokeswoman Karen Pride. "We are adding screenings and precautionary measures."

They have to go through more radiation screening(naked scanners).

Interesting, as CNN was just reporting yesterday in RE: THREE US airports rad detectors went off, all from Japan. "Nothing to see here, you silly people...it was the medical equipment the planes were carrying at the time<insert sarcastic laughter from talking heads>"

:eek:

Seriously? The world is full of stupidity, and it never disappoints in it's showing lately.:rolleyes::mad::mad::(
