Again, the amazon link is in the description of the video.

It says:

"He has a military style haircut. His boots are military type desert style bates (Tactical Sport Desert Tan) commonly used in the Army and Airforce.

The Item in question has been identified as a radiation detector. This item cost almost $600.

God damn these guys were everywhere at the race...don't tell me they did not have prior intel about a possible bomb. SOBs!

They have been "everywhere" at the race for as long as I can remember...and I've never, in my 32 years, missed a marathon.

Believe me when I tell you that the security/police/military presence is ALWAYS VERY HIGH (you should have seen it after 9/11 or for the 100th)

Hell, they even have openly armed men (some LEO, some military, some unmarked like that SEAL team, etc) in open vans ON the marathon route with all the other offical vehicles

Just some perspective from someone who knows this race, loves the day every year, and is getting a little weary of people making assumption about the way this thing works in this city...when they have no clue.

It's as bad as the people looking at a still photo and saying "Oh man, that guy isn't watching the race...that must be him!" When the reality is, that the poor bastard just got a little motion sick watching wave after wave of runners and turned his head for the 1/125 sec. that frame was taken.

@OP though. looks like a Geiger counter to me too

I'm retired Coast Guard (Retired 08) and what he's carrying is a "RAD PACK". The whole backpack is a radiation detector developed after 9/11 specifically for weapons grade uranium and plutonium but works also for other radioactive elements. This were developed for originally for use at container ports and on container ships. I was involved with their R&D field testing at one point. The part in his hand is the readout, the backpack holds a bunch of detections tubes, and battery. This person obviously is with some Govt Agency as these detectors are not available to the public.

I am 23 miles from DC sitting in my backyard with a laptop and just had what appeared to be a green radiation detecting heli and a bomber fly over heading towards the Chesapeake...couldn't get my cellcamera out fast enough before they went into the whiteout sky they have given us.

Shit is getting really weird.hiding

Running to get the camera now for the next flyover. Just needed to spew that to someone. Maybe a drink is in order also...ha!

Well, all of these paramilitary dudes in khakis and boots sure do give one pause...BUT...

I would venture to guess he is security and he is testing to see if it was a dirty bomb....

This is odd. IF he is a seal, why isnt he helping? Has a very calm look on his face.
 Quoting: Anonymous Coward 4613981


Because a real SEAL knows what can happen next: Another explosion. Stuff happens a lot in the middle-east. Explosion -> People are injured -> Other people come to help the injured people -> Boom, another blast that takes out the people that are trying to help the victims of the first blast.

If you ever come in a situation where something just exploded try to get away from that place asap.

A nuclear bomb could go off in sight of a Seal and he would still appear calm.

Re: What is this guy holding? A detenator? - Boston Marathon Bombing
I'm confused... why would one carry a radiation detector to a Marathon?

Not only that, he has a large back pack. I wouldn't normally see it as suspicious but because of this 'radiation detector' it just seems more weird. Possibly a 'rigged' radiation detector?
 Quoting: Anonymous Coward 16614745


he is checking to see if it was a dirty bomb that was set off...makes sense. Navy Seal probably as he is dressed like the other guys...not sure why they do that as it is pretty obvious they are not civilians.
