PAY CLOSE ATTENTION — I’m about to actually defend Homeland Security. Or, anyway, to link to Clayton Cramer’s defense, in which he points out that smuggling depleted uranium past security is no great accomplishment since it’s (1) harmless; and (2) possessed of a very different — and much smaller –radiation signature than weapons-grade uranium.

UPDATE: Jay Manifold has more, and notes that there’s really no story here at all. Nice going, ABC!
