#1 ....2o years ago, Jim Dunnigan (the man who now runs StrategyPage.com) called this "the suitcase from Allah."
Mr. Bennett's article is dead solid on the money. Short of purchasing a brand new weapon right off the assembly line and maintaining it to US standards, all they have is a very expensive doorstop. The possibility of using it as a dirty bomb is a real one - but having served on a decon team that prepared for accidents involving weapons hundreds of times more powerful, believe me - decon will be comparatively easy. He's also off on his comments about US weapon sizes, but that's a moot point.
Now, one other comment, regarding Mr Bennett's thoughts on smuggling a weapon into the US - if it was possible, why hasn't it been done?

"I can say no more."

#3 Ship-
Actually, the point I was making is that it's damned near impossible - not completely, but close enough to it that we can be reasonably safe. We'll always have to be vigilant, but the chances are small at best.
