NMD is the way to go. The loss of the 1960 election by the Republicans to the Democrats prolonged the cold war 20 years. A vote against NMD is a vote for the strategic insights of Robert McNamara, the fellow who gave us Vietnam, and a malfunctioning M-16. The US could have had a cheap, functioning ABM system right now which would still be viable against the threat we are testing for. Unknown to most, is that the US successfully shot down a Soviet ICBM. As for the question of smuggling in WMD, one has to ask another. Why has it not been done already?? The capacity to manufacture suitcase Nukes has been around for decades. Could it be that it is harder to do then one thinks?? Would You as leader of, say, N. Korea want to put a nuke on a slow boat to the US, not knowing if something might "Happen" to it enroute?? Like be hijacked and sent Back at You??
