I like to imagine radiologic security checks are done by border agents with cloud chambers. Not fancy electronic detectors, just literal cloud chambers. Just imagine there's some customs guy at a port in LA. He's standing outside a shipping container. In his hands he has a giant glass dome filled with fog. And he's just awkwardly waving this giant impractical object all over the surface of a shipping container.

YES! Make it a glass sphere adorned with many brass fittings. And they track the counts/minute by manually counting and using a brass stopwatch that matches the design of the cloud chamber.

Yes! Each customs agent needs at least one, preferable several, scrappy apprentices.
