If you're planning on traveling to or from Canada with a radioactive cat anytime soon, you may want to think twice before setting out. It seems that the U.S. Government has actually decided to throw down and implement an anti-terrorist system that actually works, in this case, a radiation detection network along the interstate. Though designed to detect a dirty bomb moving south along I-5 from Vancouver, B.C., it has thus far snared just one very sick cat, who had recently undergone radiation therapy.
I've certainly heard of this happening with people in airports, but there is something slightly Orwellian about this level of surveillance taking place on the road. At the border, sure. Roads which are points of entry probably should have about the same level of security as airports, but the cat in question was apprehended south of Bellingham, or for those of you not from the Northwest about an hour's drive south of the border. And also, it was a cat, not a terrorist. What's next, Family Sent to Gitmo Over Transportation of Red Fiestaware Near Border?
Of course, what they really need to help watch out for radioactive cats is this cat:
JackBauer Cat would have it all wrapped up by this time tomorrow.
