For Sale: Nuke-Grade Uranium
 

Government authorities hold Russian man who tried to sell a small amount of nuclear-grade uranium in a plastic bag in his jacket pocket

Maybe they should have waited until he dropped dead from the radiation. What a ditz!

I was wondering about that too. Maybe his jacket was lined with lead. I remember the scene in the movie "The Manhattan Project" where the scientist briefly touched a sphere of HEU and died a very horrible death by radiation poisoning. Not something I would want to walk around with!
