Once they get the nuke away from North Korea they could smuggle it in using many of the methods drug smugglers use. Of course the nuke can't be cut up in to little pieces and still function, but drug smuggles sometimes move tons in one shipment, and the drugs are not always well concealed. The nuke might be moved inside a shipping container. Yes we are getting radiation scanners at our ports but we don't have enough of them yet, they are not perfect, and more importantly the cargo is only scanned as it leaves the port. The nuke could be set off right away, in the port before anyone has time to scan it. Or you could smuggle it in to Canada or Mexico and then move it across out large, poorly monitored borders.

There sure are a lot of ifs to be overcome but no one will notice. All they will see is that moving a nuke into the US is doable. And they will have the bejezus scared out of them. You've learned well.
