"Its another version of the nuke-in-a-suitcase scenario."

No it isn't. The problem with the suitcase nuke is that it takes a significant economic base to produce. The US can do it, the old USSR might have, but the present Russia or China cannot. It's not a matter of whether plans exist, it is a matter of being able to do precision and specialized manufacturing. However, a "Fatman"(not a "Littleboy") style bomb is doable by many countries, given the materials. The problem is delivery. Delivering a package that masses 10k+ kilos, covertly, is a problem unless there is a breakdown in reasonable police procedures. Hence my scenario.
