The ABCs of Smuggling Uranium into America

The Homeland Security Department's Inspector General says ABC News showed Washington something they need to take notice of. ABC twice shipped depleted uranium into the US to see if inspectors would find it. It's perfectly legal to ship the stuff. But inspectors should see the radioactive signature and check it out. They didn't.

The IG says those failures demonstrate serious deficiencies in Uncle Sam's techniques for screening cargo. (WashPost)
