Confusing Massachusetts with Texas -- Got any Barbeque Chowder to go with this Glow in the Dark Stuff?

A load of radioactive material that disappeared back in October while en route to Texas has turned up in Boston. Halliburton was hauling the americium -- used in oil exploration -- from Russia to Houston. The material could be used to make a "dirty bomb." Shippers tracked it as far as New York, then lost it. A Halliburton spokeswoman says the Texas bound material was improperly labeled and turned up safely in Massachusetts. Houston, Austin, Boston -- honest mistake, right? (CBS 2 NY)
