I agree that the risk of terrorists denotating a nuclear bomb are extremely slim. To all those who believe the risk is real, look into how much a nuclear bomb costs to create. When the United States built the reactors to make the material for the first three bombs, 50,000 people were employed to build the reactors in Washington state. Who knows how many were employed at Los Alamos and other sites? Take the extreme costs a bomb's creator faces, and then add in the extreme risk of reprisal said creator faces when it's determined he supplied the bomb. It's rather apparent that saying Iran or Lil'Kim are going to give a bomb to terrorists is propaganda.

Quick hijack:

It doesn't really get talked about much, but I think the biggest terrorist/nuclear threat is Russia. My understanding is that the Russian Mob basically controls the country and there's no shortage corrupt politicians/generals/bureaucrats/etc. IMO the most likely way for terrorists to obtain a nuclear weapon would be buying one from Russia, not building one themselves.

Pakistan is probably a major threat here too. They already have the nukes, there are a lot of fundamentalists in the population, and the government appears to be somewhat unstable.
