description: I'm struck by ABC News smuggling uranium into the US, reminding me of George Stalk’s observations about Indian security being much tighter than American checks, including multiple body frisks and intense random screenings.

[ABC News managed to smuggle uranium](http://www.salon.com/ent/wire/2002/09/06/uranium/index.html) into the US. Reminds of when [George Stalk](http://www.fastcompany.com/online/22/digitime.html) was talking about the security checks in India being much tighter than in the US. He was body-frisked twice, and barely escaped a third random check.
