Hopefully a vigilant USN and Coastguard. But that does not remove the threat of ballistic missiles. A shield should be explored and developed. JLA

For that we can only rely on an effective intelligence network. Thankfully, it has been successful to date.

It is not common knowledge, but terrorists have already been stopped attempting to enter the U.S. through the U. S./Canadian border. Other than the highly publicized one in 2000, a group was stopped in 1998 carrying lethal biological weapons and in 1999 near Niagra Falls -- they were carrying one of the Russian's "missing" (so-called) suitcase atomic weapons. (Heading for NYC? - who knows?)

HARRP also has applications in this regard.

what would stop Libya ... just as an example ... from placing an atom bomb purchased from Pakistan in the
bottom of a cargo ship displaying a Liberian flag and detonating the bomb four miles from the Statue of Liberty?

They'd best make sure their part in it was untraceable (and that is impossible to do.) Otherwise Libya would glow in the dark for the next thousand years.
