well, i can not make any assumptions or statements, but i can say this.
at my last job two of the men there had previously worked at northrop grumming. (sp?). one of the projects they worked on was a system that tracked any radioactive substances used to make a bomb. ie plutonium or uranium. the system was installed in a satellite and orbits the united states.
the first time they turned the system on the board (in the control room) lit up like a christmas tree. turns out it was so perfect that it was reading x-ray radiation from hospitals and such.
anyways. if nuclear weapons were smuggled into the us they would be stopped well before the border.
case in point a few years back (they were telling me) a cargo ship was stopped 200 miles from shore because it gave off a strong reading. turns out it was shipping ceramic tiles that were still setting on the ship and it was giving off a radiation like signal.
what i'm trying to say is i don't think they would be able to smuggle anything in, and i hope to gosh the dudes telling me this are right.
