Whom Is For The Vigilant Watch: At these times of
heightened alert, one cannot be too watchful. Just the other day, the FBI cautioned American law enforcement to be on the lookout for people carrying
Almanacs. And, the US courts have ordered the Bush Adminstration to release "
dirty bomb suspect" Jose Padilla from detention in a naval brig.
Nonetheless, wearing a
Vigilant Watch, one can safely go about one's business, especially in these high-risk groups listed on the Swiss watchmaker's website under the title, "Whom Is For The Vigilant Watch":
-personnel from nuclear plants, nuclear research and waste
professionals;
-medical professionals such as nuclear medicine specialists, radiologists, dentists;
-security personnel including military, customs agents, fire protection, civil security, disaster relief, police forces;
-waste removal and transport companies;
-flight crews;
-journalists and environmentalists;
-professionals of international organisations travelling to risk areas;
-embassy personnel;
-and anyone having to deal with radioactive material;
-tourists travelling to risk areas;
-frequent flyers;
-Or quite simply for general public anxious to know if it evolves in environement little or highly radioactive.
I'm not sure who all is included in that last category. However, if you're anxious enough to buy one of these Vigilant Watches, you'll probably be watchful and vigilant enough to report to the FBI anyone else you see wearing one - especially if he's reading an Almanac!
