You guys are getting a little too far out for me. I personally think the chance of a rogue nuke by the Al Qaeda at this point in time very remote. These things aren't tinker toys. They are complex and I suspect it takes a fair amount of expertise to move one around and get it set up for action, in particular if it was obtained on the black market. When it comes to knowledge on the fringe the world is a small place. The number of people who could get one of these devices set up is I suspect extremely small. The intelligence communities would not have a hard time tracking related activities, not at all. I also suspect the Ruskies know where all their nukes are. They have just as many reasons as the US to want to know. Just my opinion. There are reasons that only a limited number of countries have nuclear weapons, the main one being it ain't that simple. Biological or chemical weapons on the other hand appear to me to be much simpler and cheaper to obtain and maintain.
