Dale, think about that for a minute. The thinking is a nuclear device could be planted in a ships hold. That is why many ships are now given an initial inspection while they are at sea, before they are allowed to dock, and why those inspectors carry radiation detectors.. Get a copy of the book "The Fifth Horseman" This fifth Horseman>http://www.amazon.com/exec/obidos/ASIN/0380547341/103-8289087-4040646 Editorial Reviews Reviewer: global (see more about me) from New York The prospect of an event is everyone's worst nightmare. Yet it is precisely what the think tanks responsible for national security have on their agenda, and have for years...what to do...if. The prospect was so daunting that the US and USSR for decades pulled out all the stops to insure that a nuclear explosion would never be initiated at the expense of either side, yet ironically devised every diabolical delivery vehicle, intellectual platform and system capable of destroying NY or MOSCOW in a NY minute. Now it is horribly realistic, save the inability to acquire and successfully detonate one (but would need several to probably assure that a success would be achieved, notwithstanding discovery of one or more attempts)Fanaticism is unpredictible. Can you match unpredictibility with effective unpredictibility? An extraordinary look into a fictional story which we should hope never strays from that genre. Keep in mind the book was written in 1987

Well, suitcase nukes, chemicals, biological, etc.. Heck you could even stuff it full of plastique and track it's movement via GPS and blow up remotely. Might not have the impact of mass destruction, but if the idea is to make things unsettling, it sure would work. btw, the Italian authorities busted some terrorist in one of these. He was heading to Canada. Was an aircraft mechanic, had all the required clearance and id badges on him, satellite phone, laptop, etc.. COntainer had 3weeks supply food and water.. But damn, wouldn't you suffocate or get too hot in there? yeeesh
