Do they use the international radiation symbol in Mexico? I know there's the whole machismo thing in some cultures, but it takes a certain kind of curious cat to open a sealed container with a radioactive symbol on it.

On February 15, 2007, two bodies—the International Atomic Energy Agency (IAEA) and the International Organization for Standardization (ISO)—jointly announced the adoption of a new ionizing radiation warning symbol ..... The new symbol is not intended to be generally visible, but rather to appear on internal components of devices that house radiation sources so that if anybody attempts to disassemble such devices they will see an explicit warning not to proceed any further
Even an illiterate Mexican thief should be able to figure out what this means:
