Dickinson is assistant chief constable with Lothian and Borders Police, and has
responsibility through the Association of Chief Police Officers in Scotland for
protecting Scotland from chemical and nuclear attacks. He has been closely
involved in co-ordinating the country's counter-terrorism response.
He said: "An incident will continue for days and all the public will see is
people dying without reason. What will we do when our children come home from
school with blisters on their skin and their parents don't know what to do?
"What happens if 10 deaths, 50 deaths, 100 deaths start occurring in an
unconnected and random way all over the country? The public will be rightly and
understandably terrified."
Casualties caused by radiation, which most people don't understand, would
trigger widespread "panic and fear", said Dickinson. And the response of the
emergency services "would be chaotic" because of a shortage of resources.
The police capability for dealing with the chemical, biological, radiological
and nuclear threat - known as CBRN - needs to be increased, he argued. "I
haven't got as many officers with protective equipment as I would like," he
added. "We must prepare for the worst."

Nostradamus was also a visionary, if you are willing to twist certain facts, bend meanings and contexts. This "Ian Dickinson" sounds like that kind of guy. 'Sometime, somewhere, something will happen. Put your money on Black 24, and spin the wheel till it comes up "Black 24". Sooner or later, it will.<br />
<br />
In the mean time, some people will stay rational, knowing a dirty bomb can never go nuclear, and really wouldn't be a lot worse than the pollution we already generate now.<br />

I love it when these 'cops' take about drug addiction as well -- since when does simply arresting someone make you an expert on addiction pathologies anyway or even experts in clinical biology. It's kinda like some cop, who upon arresting a car thief, then all of a sudden becomes an expert on automotive repair. It's like a bartender who thinks he's 'knows' it all about alcoholism, because he serves drinks to them.
What crystal ball are the pigs using and shouldn't our idiot politicians start putting these fuckers on the carpet -- I'd like to know MORE about how AQ is running meth labs in AB! or even what is happening with the 100 -150 Taliban suicide bombers that corrupt idiot OConner was spewing about...
