Add in to this nightmare scenario, the very real probability that a HUNDRED or more nukes were unnaccounted for when the Soviet Union collapsed, and it is ridiculous to intimate that full 'nukes' or 'weapons grade' plutonium or uranium is impossible or even all that 'difficult' for terrorist organisations to obtain.
As for; it being impossible to 'smuggle' such nukes or weapons grade material into the USA, when one considers that 75 ILLEGAL TUNNELS leading from MEXICO into the USA have recently been discovered in the San Diego area alone - including 'Super Tech' tunnels complete with railways - Arista's scenario is very FEASIBLE.
Especially given the probability that the 75 discovered tunnels are merely the tip of a very large iceberg.

Nah, it's a scenario that only happens in films. Your whole post relies on the fact that those weapons are actually missing, you see governments don't tend to leave loose ends when it comes to nukes. They don't just write off bombs that could end the world, shockingly enough.
Chances are those nukes have already been recovered and/or destroyed.
