It is so impressive what is going on in Great Britain nowadays in connection with poisoning of Soviet ex-spy Litvinenko with polonium-210! It merely defies explanation. Looks like the English were affected with a fit of hysterics in a shake and now are hanging in stuporous depression 'cause they feel that Death is walking thereabout and no one knows who is going to be the next victim of Chechen terrorists who are planning to use polonium-210 as poisonous material in a dirty bomb in some busy place of London. What is upsetting most of all, British police proved themselves to be absolutely feckless in this situation, in fighting radioactive terrorism I mean.

By the way, here is some thought-provoking info for you. I decided to learn more about polonium-210 and entered this word combination into Google search engine. You will never guess what was among links on the first page. It was a commercial of United Nuclear Scientific Equipment & Supplies of Sandia Park, N.M., that offers to sell you a small amount of polonium-210 for $69 in a small, yellow, disk-shaped container plus $18 for delivery via the U.S. Postal Service! At first I did not believe my eyes. It turns out that in America, polonium-210 is available from numerous firms that cell it without the buyers having to receive special permission from the government! You see, American authorities do not control their nuclear materials and terrorists feel free to purchase it to make dirty bombs! What an outrage! It?s a paradise for terrorists imo. By this means America gives a lot of opportunity to global terrorism! Isn?t it a paradox for a country claiming the fame of the main antiterrorist crusader in the world?

@GoodBoy,
Yes , please confirm your sources when discussing such topics . Look at both sides of an issue rather than jumping to conclusions .
Quote from the link given by Goodboy-
"You would need about 15,000 of our Polonium-210 needle sources
at a total cost of about $1 million - to have a toxic amount."

And -
"In comparison, Amercium-241 is a similar toxic Alpha radiation emitter.
Instead of a half life of 138 days like Polonium-210 has, it has a half life of over 450 years. It is far more toxic - and there is 10 times more than the 'exempt quantity' amount in every smoke detector in your home.

If you really wanted to poison someone, you would of course have to come up with a way to remove the invisible amount of material from the exempt sources - which is just about physically impossible and combine them together. Of course you would also need that 15,000 exempt sources."

They do say this as a postscript -
"For those of you with a slightly warped sense of humor, we do sell a Polonium-210 coffee mug ."
