India doesn’t need terrorists to set off dirty nukes in their country. The enforcement of laws pertaining to nuclear waste are so lax they are suffering casualties at scrap metal markets. The Indian officials haven’t found the source or the folks who dumped it. If Cobalt-60 can end up tossed around at a scrap metal market in New Delhi it doesn’t take much imagination to envision a bunch of it being propelled into the crowded air of a major city in the USA by a simple explosive.

Geeze. a good argument for better science education too.
Yeah, Charles, and a more awake security force. Man, this one was scary.
Really, really scary.
It sure is, Bernita. It doesn't take much dispersed waste like Cobalt-60 to contaminate air and water. Worst of all - it doesn't take a rocket scientist to disperse it in a populated area.
