I hate to piss on any TIBB expert's parade, but:

With at least 8 Nuclear Weapons lost and still unnaccounted for by the USA during the 50's and 60's, and the high probability that there could be MANY times that number of 'missing' nukes or 'stolen' weapons grade nuclear materials in the years since and right up to the present if we choose to disregard the US authorities assurances to the contrary (the SAME authorities who spent decades DENYING that most of these 8 nukes had gone missing in the first place).

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.
