It doesn't matter!
Any additional dose of radiation, especially a concentrated one like this still cannot be considered "safe"!
More people's health is being endangered than lives saved by detecting such implausible and non-credible weapons!
It would be like forcing everyone to take an experimental vaccine that is known to kill in large doses and is possibly harmful in smaller doses to prevent an extremely rare disease that has extremely low primary transmittability and zero secondary transmittability.
It's simply not worth it.
