To compare someone getting their hands on a gun and saying it's as realistic as terrorists going nuclear is just plain dumb. Anyone can get their hands on a gun, but nuclear weapons are.....less available.
It's the same thing with the bombs used in attacks, they are often home made. You can't really make a homemade nuke.
IS somehow acquiring 'lost' WMDs, having the capacity and resources to ACTUALLY use them and smuggling them into the US is pretty much an impossible scenario.

I'm not comparing anything, you are doing that yourself, I'm just pointing out scenarios that would have been passed off as unrealistic in the past like training as pilots and flying planes into buildings are now a reality, just because you think it's unrealistic and difficult to do doesn't mean someone with determination and intent can't do it at some point
