Hospitals Being Targetted for Terrorist Attacks?
A number of other people have posted about this so I wasn't going to do a story on it, but since a number of you e-mailed me with it I thought I'd better put it up.

Hat tip to John Little and others. NY Sun:
New York City hospitals are on the lookout for impostors trying to scope out health-care facilities and locate radioactive materials following warnings late last month from the Department of Homeland Security and the city Police Department about an emerging pattern of "suspicious incidents" in some American cities.In an April 22 bulletin, the Department of Homeland Security warned hospitals that a string of people falsely representing themselves as inspectors for the Joint Commission on Accreditation of Healthcare Organizations had visited hospitals across America at odd hours, demanding information about the inner workings of the facilities.

Really useful targeting places already full of dying people...

They aren't targeting the places for attack, They are targeting the places in order to steal radioactive Iodine, Adenosine, and tagged red cells, in order to build radioactive weapons.
I can understand that, since most nuclear medicine rooms are wide open spaces, that are rarely locked, and rarely checked after hours. The only thing standing between terrorists and the matierals would be a sharp eyed tech or roaming security guard.

Interresting... So you suspect they might be trying to make a dirty bomb from cancer medication and radiate their message of Allahs wrath near your major cities ?
