Phew! But two weeks ago, did you think they had pilots ready to destroy the beautiful buildings and all inside? Why can't they have already shipped a nuke from Pakistan or Russia or China in a lead-lined container to a rented warehouse in Los Angeles? You know, get a paid off customs inspector to work at some port authority. He could take a look inside the container, sign it off as all in order even though it had a big box inside which he didn't open. He wouldn't even need to be told what it was - just to sign of container number such and such. They could tell him it's some drugs - he wouldn't care as there is already so much of that around and maybe he's partial to it himself. Then get a trucking company to drop it off at your warehouse which wouldn't be an expensive thing to buy. Then wait for a few years. When it's time to blow it up, phone the Globalstar phone inside the container and the ringing noise would wake the bomb to explode. Or does uranium decompose too quickly to leave a bomb for too long? I wonder what their shelf life is before the fissionable material needs souping up again. It seems easy enough to me. Much easier than building an ICBM, which judging from the Globalstar Zenit launch might not work reliably] which would then have to dodge Raygun's Star Wars [GWB Mark II] satellites, lasers and missiles.
