    Heh – there is a smartphone app called GammaPix that claims to be able to detect gamma radiation via your phone’s camera, but the reviews are mixed. Still, it’s cheaper than buying a Geiger counter!

      Old GM tubes are cheap and the electronics are easy enough to make for me. I’d do it if I was actually worried. The noise in the photo is fake but that would be a ridiculous amount.

        Cool! (I couldn’t tell a circuit diagram from a Circuit City, so I’m stuck paying retail for things like that!)
