What I want to know is how the U.S. reconciles its indiscriminate littering
of other countries with depleted uranium with its recent hysteria that
says that all radioactivity is an act of terrorism.

In other words, the thousands if not millions of depleted uranium shells we
litter Afghanistan, Iraq, and other countries are perfectly "safe" and pose
no threat to health whatsoever, yet at the same time we have lined our
borders with radiation detectors which alert at even the tiniest fraction
of the radioactivity of a single depleted uranium shell. In fact, just
the other day the newspaper carried a story about how Americans undergoing
radiation treatment for cancer could trigger the detectors and how they
should carry documentation of their treatment to prove they're not
terrorists. So according to the U.S. government, thousands of radioactive
depleted uranium shells (which are also a toxic heavy metal aside from
their radioactivity) are "harmless," but someone with trace amounts of
radioactive iodine in their bloodstream to treat thyroid cancer is a
terrorist.

Does the word "depleted" mean anything to you dumbass???

Uranium is uranium until it decays into something else. I think
"depleted" in this sense means all the useful U-235 has been
fissioned, but that still leaves the U-238 and the various
byproducts. Anyway, I don't think the government has ever said
it wasn't radioactive, simply that the level of radioactivity
was "harmless" (yet not so harmless that we would allow it to
be disposed of in a regular U.S. landfill). So someone please
answer whether depleted uranium would trigger the detectors at
the border.

Depleted uranium is used as ballast in jet aircraft (civilian) and sail
boats.
It is less toxic than lead.
If it didn't have the name **uranium** nobody would give a fig. Check out
your local industrial parks for examples of hard gamma sources.
They call them industrial xray systems.
Either read up, or shut up.

and that's why the UN has classed it as a
Weapon with Indiscriminate Effect
