Another doom and gloom scenario that gets even more improbable than those
that preceded it. Even if we could figure out the (im)probability of this
scenario, nobody has yet stated whether the typical 0.9uCi of Am-241 in a
smoke detector is even a health hazard (assuming that a child could find
the quarter microgram in the first place). I suspect that we have an almost
zero probability of a child eating something that won't harm them anyway.
