no, is't Alpha particles that are stopped by almost any layer, but are
(consequently) devastating when they hit a living cell directly.

Otherwise: I don't doubt there are lots of people on this list on both
sides of this discussion, and with convincing arguments, and a pressing
urge to convince their opponents (I match the first two criteria, no
longer the last). But I think it is for the good of this list when they
would do so elsewhere.
