1. Almost 6 months since the catastrophe and there is not extensive testing?
Bullshit.
What is the government going to do about the ensuing panic when the Japanese realize EVERYTHING will be contaminated in time?

From the article:
Japan’s government is under-reporting the amount of airborne radiation across the country, said Tom Gill, an anthropology professor at Meiji Gakuin University in Tokyo, citing his studies in Fukushima prefecture since March.

The “maximum” radiation level given for Fukushima prefecture on Aug. 13 was 2.64 microsieverts per hour in the village of Iitate 40 kilometers northwest of the Dai-Ichi plant, Gill said, according to figures from the Science Ministry published daily in national newspapers.

That compares with the official reading in the village itself the NEXT DAY OF 14.2 MICROSIEVERTS per hour, he said, showing a picture he took of the reading on that day.
