With ISIS taking more territory in Iraq, there is a real possibility that they may be able to acquire radioactive material to build a dirty bomb. Further, Iran has large amounts of enriched uranium, we hope it is not enriched enough for an atomic bomb, but a dirty bomb is quite possible.
We no longer can assume a dirty bomb will not be used against us.
My advanced system detects radiation in vehicles with greater sensitivity that prior systems. When I invented the radiation monitoring system, I disclosed the application to Los Alamos National Laboratory under a confidentiality agreement. There, scientists tested my radiation monitoring system. It worked!!

See LANL document LA-RU-03-8055 for the results. Using a toy train as the vehicle, the invention worked.

Here is the long description:

A radiation monitoring system for detecting levels of radiation emitted from moving objects traveling at a wide range of speeds, including the high speeds normally encountered with vehicles traveling on highways, interstates, thoroughfares, railroads and conveyors. At least two and preferably three ionizing radiation detectors are employed, spaced apart in series along the direction of travel of the moving object or vehicle. The object or vehicle is monitored for radioactivity and the results are transmitted and processed at a central location. The individual results from each detector for a particular object or vehicle are summed and averaged over the number of detectors used thereby clearly distinguishing the fluctuating background radiation detected at each detector from the consistent high levels of radiation detected from those moving objects or vehicles measured emitting radiation. The results are cooperatively linked by an identification system such as a web cam or other photographic device which obtains visual identification of the objects and vehicles emitting the abnormally high levels of radiation detected.
