The weapon identified is small 8-kilogram device that carries at least 2 kg of fissionable plutonium and uranium.

Huh.... 16 pounds total weight??

Call me a skeptic...

If I recall, our own backpack nukes were over 100 pounds.. (based upon the "Davy Crockett" mini-nuke warhead we built)...

If they had working nukes in the US, they would have already used them... imo, rather than relying up airliners.

After all, the most difficult part (other than making them work) is getting them into the country.
