<- eventually leading to a nuclear strike on NYCity> Jim...a nuke is dependant upon a delivery system: 1. Aircraft dropping a bomb (al la Hiroshima). 2. An artillery shell (would have to be in close proximity and yield would be very low). 3. A missile or rocket capable of delivery from an extremely long distance. Undeniably, we have enemies who have nuclear devices. Numbers one and two, because of what has happened, are unlikely. Number three pretty much rules out all but the largest military powers. I think nuclear warfare on the mainland for the above reasons is unlikely. I am concerned, however, with the biological aspect. A cup full of some nasty bugs can be easily concealed and deliver a lot of misery.
