Radioactive Footwear

The sandals were the most she had ever paid for any footwear, but she could not resist them. The first time she wore them was to her summer job at the nuclear plant where she worked as a tour guide. At the end of the day she went through the screening and when the wand was passed over her sandals, it beeped, which meant she would have to hand over the sandals to be incinerated. “Do it again!” she demanded. It beeped again. She made them repeat the procedure until there was no beep, and walked out wearing the sandals.
