I post this crucial news because the nation’s university research labs and hospitals no doubt make use of cesium chloride:

A new government program aims to make it more difficult for terrorists to steal dangerous radioactive material from the nation’s hospitals and medical research labs to make “dirty bombs.” About 1,300 machines in medical facilities will be fitted with new security measures by the end of next year that will make it much harder for anyone to steal the cesium chloride inside, officials at the Homeland Security and Energy departments said. The machines use the material to irradiate blood, primarily for cancer patients. The cesium contained in just one machine would be enough for a terrorist to make a radioactive bomb … [which] would not kill many people, but … wreak havoc and contaminate streets and buildings. Concerns about hospital security took on new urgency last year when government “red teams” were able to break into irradiation machines in as little as two minutes … .
