"Do you have any idea what it costs to build a nuke?" Well, John, this is where you go wrong. Everyone knows that the only reason it costs the equivalent of billions of dollars and a fair fraction of the industrial output of a small country is the waste and inefficiency of government. It is a little known fact that the tooling needed can be picked up at any big box store, and it is often on sale. Because micron precision machining is just a way that the union controlled atomic bomb facilities use to justify their high wages. A few minutes with a file and a drill can do a good enough job to produce a high quality plutonium pit. Things like exploding bridge wire detonators and krytron tubes aren't really needed. Now true, if they come up on eBay, go ahead and pick them up. But, a old distributor ignition system from a '57 Chevy and some spark plugs make an adequate substitute. Worst comes to worst, some carefully cut fuses and a match can sequence the charges. Heck, if even Lichtenstein can produce a sophisticated, miniature weapon, why can't the terrorists? This has been covered up by the liberal media. Because it "explodes" their myths of the difficulty in producing these things... youtube.com To be fair, Lichtenstein does have a history of precision manufacturing. Who can forget the Curta calculator?
