Chile finds radioactive traces in Korean cars, AFP, May 2, 2011:

Chilean officials found traces of radioactivity in tests on around 20 used cars on a ship from South Korea that had been in the vicinity of Japan’s damaged Fukushima atomic plant, a report said Monday. [...]

[Iquique customs director Raul Barria] said the vehicles were showing a level of one to five on a radioactive index, below the level of nine needed for an alert.

The ship sailed from South Korea and then docked at the Japanese ports of Osaka and Yokohama, located 500 kilometers (300 miles) from the reactor in Fukushima [...]

The 83 workers who had contact with the vehicles “were tested by customs at their request,” Barria said [...]

    And so it begins… In a few months, people will be scared of Japanese products because of radiation fear. Maybe for a good reason.

    So disgusted with MSM, Congress, Prez, et al for not even putting some of radiation news out. Not a word, but let a pretty blonde girl get raped, or kill a sick kidney has been terrorist, or birth cert BS, they are in your face 24/7. This is IMHO “THE” story for the last 50 years, and not a peep. If you ever questioned whether or not our system of gov is a full blown CORPORATOCRACY, question no more. The obfuscation continues………..

      IMHO this country has been a corporatacracy since the death of Andrew Jackson. Remember that Jackson issued greenbacks, U.S. currency printed from the constitutionally mandated U.S. Treasury.

      I don’t believe anything these government liars posing as politicians, hypocrites, and phony “we the people” representatives (yeah right!), war mongerers, crooks, thieves, but in actuality NWO globalists and federal reservists profess to tell us. Bring on more of that inbred royal pageantry, please! (barfs)

    Article doesn’t detail the origin of the cars. Were they bought in Yokohama from a used car exporter?

    Neutron flux is a b!tch, just ask the US Navy that pulled out too. It turns metal in it’s path and vicinity radioactive.

    “Chilean officials found traces of radioactivity in tests on around 20 used cars on a ship from South Korea”.

    Wonder if those are actually the same 20 used Japanese cars refused entry to eastern Russia, which cars may have then been sent to S. Korea, refused entry there also, then sent to Chile. Just wondering…

    These reports may give new meaning to the transport and sale of “hot” cars.

    I think there already is or will soon be a piecemeal quarantine developing, but we won’t hear the details or media use of the term.

    I am sure that Tokyo car and truck rental agencies, as one example, are prohibiting customers from taking the vehicles within certain minimum distances from Daiichi.

    And I’m sure licensed pilots can’t rent and fly a photo mission anywhere even within telephoto range of the reactors.

    Any local-sourced facts on how those or other restrictions are being handled?
