To search narrow streets and buildings, as many as 100 two-person teams, dressed as inconspicuously as possible, are sent on foot patrols. One team member carries a special radiation detector designed to be hidden in briefcases, student backpacks, laptop computer bags--even beer coolers, in the case of a threat to vaporize...
