Woke up, put on clothes, went to work.

I find this interesting (no sarcasm; I'm honestly glad they were working hard to catch everything...):

>>Based more on experts' belief that al-Qaeda might attempt to set off a dirty bomb during the end-of-year celebrations than real information, the Department of Energy sent scores of nuclear scientists with detection equipment to five major cities, The Washington Post reported.
Only in Las Vegas did the needles spike inside a storage unit on December 29. The radiation, it turned out, came from a cigar-size radium pellet -- used to treat cancer -- that a homeless man had found and stashed away among his meager belongings, the officials said.
The homeless man, whose identity was not disclosed, assisted authorities in their search and was not arrested.
