A Japanese citizen tweeted a shop said they are no longer allowed to sell foreign dosemeters.
マジ？！RT @yasaitabeteruガイガー不調。修理の為、店に聞いたら、外国産もう売れないんだって！国からのお達しじゃないけどお達しだそうだ。計測数値が確かじゃないから混乱を招くとのことだそうだ。今市場に出てるのは？水面下だってさ何だか日本こえーし真綿で首絞められてる感。

My geiger counter got out of order, went to the shop to repair. They said, they can no loger sell foreign geiger counters from the order of Japanese government. Government says, foreign geiger counters are not accurate, may cause panic. I wonder what they will do for the geiger counters that have already been bought by normal people. They also said it was ordered backstage. I’m scared of Japan, feel like I’m being killed quietly.

事故後全国的に品切れ、品薄状態の時期に外国産を輸入出来てたそういうのに強い店だったので、目立ったのかな。某国製の高性能のに買い替え予定だったので、残念。会社にご迷惑掛けると悪いので、ツイート消しまーす(^-^)/

I wonder the shop is under surveillance because they seem to have a strong pipe with foreign makers. Just after 311, geiger counters were out of stock all over Japan but only that shop had stock. I’m sorry because I wanted to buy a better one made in “a” country. I don’t want to disturb the shop, so will delete this tweet soon.

After 311, a lot of the dose meters were donated by variety of countries, but still over 40,000 of them are missing.
To measure beta and alpha ray, we need to buy foreign brands.

This should be very easy for some those living in Japan to verify!
If this is now happening then it would be HUGE news for both the Japanese people and the rest of US monitoring what is going on from outside Japan!
Please consider making some calls and let US know if this is “fluke” or is it now offical policy in Japan!
Thanks in advance…
There was a report last year of a company that makes
geiger counters in Japan turning down a request from
the Japanese government to supply it with dosimeters.
The government wanted the dosimeters built to their
specifications which the company felt would result
in lower readings than what was really being recorded.
Looks like they want to ban accurate foreign dosimeters
and replace them with altered and inaccurate Japanese made
dosimeters that always read lower than what is really there.

If this is true, I wonder if foreign embassies can import them use diplomatic immunity channels. This is a very grave development.
Do you sometimes spend more than a minute verifying things ?
If a tweet tells you that Tepco triggerered the tsunami with an american quake masheen to create a breeding plant in daiichi to produce super mutant soldiers for Blackwater would you publish it as is ?
you are getting closer everyday to Alec Jones style madness and will soon be shouting “wake up sheeple” to strangers in the subway.
It’s one thing to voice concern and expose governement incompetence… with the proper backing facts and checked testimony.
It’s another one to milk paranoia an push every brainfart or bull overheard at the coffee machine as frontpage news.
The ban on the sale of foreign geiger counters news has come and gone several times already. Honestly, after having to deal with warranty services in japan for imported products, I’m pretty sure the guy in the shop made that excuse on the spot to weasel out of any customer support duty.
Attention is vital. Arrogance is Inertia.
It’s a shame…this governement is full of criminals. Japan is a fascist country. I’m so sad. It’s not the country I knew anymore. Everything is broken.
When a government does something like this, its dictate violates God given rights, and should no longer be followed. In order to help defend one’ life and the life of their family in this situation, accurate, useful, working, radiation meters are necessary. When a government attempts to deny this, and especially when it is guilty of so much other harmful behavior toward citizens, such a dictate should be taken as a grain of salt; that is, ignored, worked around, and defeated as necessary.

Not sure about the facts on this one. I went to the Japan customs site; foreign geiger counters are NOT listed as items that cannot be brought into the country. Seems like you don’t even need to declare it if your total imports are under the personal limit.
