Thanks all for your responses. What's appalling is that my government, engineers, and other politicians think it's ok to simply pollute, murder, poison and dump their crap on the whole world, not to mention legislating the use of these toxic devices in all of our homes (landlords, renters etc). What's amazing is here outside of NYC, one of the excuses to keep Indian Point Nukem plant open is that it would take umpty years to get rid of the nuclear waste anyway. What's amazing is that these smoke alarm manufacturers recommend putting these devices in every room of your house. More amazing, there have been real life tests of these devices at Texas A & M proving they don't even work!!! What's more amazing, is that you can barely read the warnings printed on the box and the devices about proper disposal. What's more amazing is that the powers that be around here, keep churning this crap out onto an unsuspecting public...sorry, that little nukem sign really flashed me back to "duck and cover" days of my childhood.

PS: to Lloyd: when I lived in Texas, I cut out a great photo of some researchers standing under a grouping of power lines, holding two fluorescent light bulbs just in their hands, and yes they were lit up. I think I saved it in my picture files. > From: Allan Balliett <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> > Reply-To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] > Date: Sun, 2 Feb 2003 22:57:12 -0500 > To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] > Subject: Re: Smoke Alarm alarming > > to use up radioactive waste
