Radioactive materials

Our government has made a strange movement to ban radioactive materials in consumer products, I have heard about this and figured that it is farcical. A little radioactive material that doesn't emit gamma rays isn't that bad. I am sick of hearing people piss and moan about radioactive isotopes like tritium, radium and americium, these isotopes arent' dangerous unless the object they are contained in is opened (eg. the watch for tritium and radium and the smoke detector for americium).
