Kinda makes you wonder with our Wide Open Southern Borders, IF any of this has made its way into the USA sealed in small sensor-proof containers?

Yet the Far Left still lives for and promotes the idea that we can be a happy, unified world population with No Borders?

#6 Not several kilos of uranium, according to The Times of Israel:

The uranium was found in a shipment of scrap metal and investigators were looking into whether it was the result of “poor handling” in Pakistan, the BBC reported.

“I want to reassure the public that the amount of contaminated material was extremely small and has been assessed by experts as posing no threat to the public,” police commander Richard Smith said in a statement to British media.

“Although our investigation remains ongoing, from our inquiries so far, it does not appear to be linked to any direct threat,” Smith said.

No arrests have been made so far. According to The Sun, police are thought to be focusing on an Iran-based firm that has premises in the UK where the package was supposed to be delivered.

Still, let’s wait for more information before moving it to Page 2: WoT Background/Politics. It could be someone testing the system, and it definitely shows the English response to such a concern.

#8 Not just by plane, but by passenger plane.

Thank you for that perspective, Frank G — I rely on y’all to provide the real-world knowledge that I lack. 24 Hour Rule, but malevolent testing sounds more probable, Or perhaps the machines at the airport that respond to radiation need to be recalibrated?

#9 The FAA shutdown and this story seem coincidental in time, and yet, if the UK event was determined as a test of sensor systems, such info relayed to the US might have been a trigger?
