Stresstests and the border

Just a note to suggest that if you've had a stress test (you know, one of those where they inject you with radio nuclides), wait several days before taking a run over the border. My husband had one on Wednesday morning at home, and coming from a run to Canada through customs on Friday night, we were detained an hour because their sensors picked up radiation emitting from his body (right through the truck!) That stuff stays in your body for quite some time. Funny, it wasn't picked up on the way into Canada.

COOL!!! I might just take a run to Canada, if I ever have one of those tests. Anything to mess with them a little. :+

Leo, it'd be even cooler if you get some phosphorescent nail polish :p

Same happened to me about three years ago. Medical thalium has a half life of 72 hours, but after 8 days from the test, I set off that machine in Detroit. Chalk it up to just another unique experience during life on the road.
