Well at least they're sorry.
Not as sorry as the poor bastard who finds that thing but there you go.
Shoot, a convoy of 8 vehicles could sum the 'pings' of radioactive decay and drive at full speed, getting their data streams in sync, to raise the signal to noise level of detection. Were there any engineers involved in the recovery efforts thus far?
Of course, you can't find something that a kid has picked up and taken home... tick, tock!
