> If something is that dangerous, shouldn't there be armored escorts, lojacks and all sorts of other security measures on it?

I think you underestimate just how common this and similarly dangerous chemical substances are. Every large hospital that does radiation therapy has this stuff.

> Isn't it criminally liable to transport something this lethal so carelessly?

You probably mean "criminally negligent", and I don't think the "standard of care" criterium extends to defending against malicious third party actions.



And yet highway robbery is the dirty secret the transportation industry doesn't want people to know about. It's an increasing trend in the transportation industry to install hard/software that allows for better tracking and incident reporting. Everything from robbery to driver "safety" ratings and insurance investigations.
