now, where the wtmd and x-ray machines cannot detect explosives, let alone a radioactive material, and during the lighter is a no-no heyday as well as the number of >3.4oz bottles which are making it thru the checkpoints (not to mention the tsa's own failed tests), what makes you think it would ever get caught

United Nuclear has much more. . . 
Edit to say Spiff still hasn't taken me up on my offer of a one litre glass bottle of Neon gas. I'm still waiting for a trip report of taking that through security. It has only been two and a half years though.

At the ticket counter and the gates, there is a large sign warning you about what you can and cannot take aboard the plane. One of the items allowed is a "small" amount of radioactive material. I asked the GA about it one time and he said (if memory serves me right and it may not) that you could take about 2 pounds of radioactive material onboard the plane. I tried to find the info online and quit after not finding it on 3 web sites.

OK, FIRST of all . . . How in the world is it that Amazon sells radioactive Uranium ore
SECOND of all . . . I am afraid to know what one person will do with Uranium ore, anal probes and kinky underwear. yikes! scary combination. Again, I am afraid of Amazon.com
THIRD of all . . did you happen to notice the product reviews from customers . . . about taking over the world, etc . . . HI-larious.
All that said, I fear that the TSA "rule followers" may let it slip if it's not explicitly stated on the no-no list. ;-)
