They can't deliver a nuke? Any commercial airliner can deliver a nuke. It might be a one-way trip, but that's the scary thing.. Religious fanatics LOVE one-way trips to paradise.. And you bet.. a sub would be perfect, if they can manage to get it into a harbor, or off-load the warhead onto a freighter at sea during a pre-arranged rendezvous.. Cocaine smugglers do it all the time and Colombian officials have discovered 4 attempts at building submersibles for hauling coke: freerepublic.com There are also a number of private submarines being purchased by private owners.. some with the ability to descend to 1000 feet. One of the largest civilian submarine yards is in Dubai, where 18 have been built so far, and over two dozen are under construction or on order. Another large operation is U.S. Submarines, in Seattle, a company that has built most of the scientific communities subs over the last two decades. strategypage.com ussubs.com Hawk
