Radioactive fliers land in US

Two flights that originated in Tokyo and landed in Dallas and Chicago yesterday triggered radiation detectors when passengers passed through customs, The Post has learned.

Tests on the jet that landed at the Dallas-Fort Worth airport showed low levels of radiation on the travelers’ luggage and inside the cabin’s filtration system.

No passengers were quarantined.

Details about the incident at O’Hare Airport in Chicago were not immediately clear.

Locally, the Port Authority was notified of the incidents, and officials are set to meet today with airline representatives to address potential problems with planes from Japan landing at JFK and Newark.
