All I did was google to find out this map is produced and contributed to by anybody who puts together a home Geiger counter kit. Crowd sourced hysteria which is what the goal is of these people.

Couldn't have said it better myself. All kinds of people try to raise alarm bells based on their own non-verified or backed up ideas and spread paranoia-fueled bullshit. Too many fucking idiot bloggers think they are journalists (including a certain dizzy woman out on the west coast who created a stir in the adult community a few years ago).
Here is some TRUTH for the whack jobs:
Fukushima Fallout is NOT Affecting U.S.-Caught Fish, and lots of Q&A about the disaster:

Fukushima water leak: What you should know:
http://news.nationalgeographic.com/n...ve-water-leak/
etc...
the map posted at the top of this thread is pure bullshit. Sure its easy and scary to read and even I was duped once with another map... just take your time, do your own research, and stop believing the idiots.
