Oh, wow! How stupid. They’re just asking to have those devices stolen.

they are going to lose one or more in transit, whether by accident or through an “arrangement.”

They don’t realize that we can detect radioactive material from the air or space?

Pakistan is, in reality, an enemy nation. We would be better off if India completely defeated Pakistan in a war. Unfortunately, China would probably intervene and help Pakistan and we could end up with a world war on our hands.

This is not comforting considering that Pakistans security agency is rife with Islamic fanatics
It wont be long before several are missing.

I think that they want some to be “stolen”.Better that than having given some to Islamic crazies,gives them plausable deniability.

They dont realize that we can detect radioactive material from the air or space? Not physically possible. We're talking about getting at most a few high energy photons at the receivers, probably mostly zero. Triangulating would be impossible.

It’s called “false flag”.
They will be “stolen”. The goal is for them to be “stolen”.

SD, I think you are under the mistaken notion that Pakistan is a real country, it isn't.
They don't care if one of their bombs gets stolen. They assume it will be used against one of their enemies, which is anyone in the west and India.

To detect a plutonium-based weapon, my understanding is that even with the best detection technology one must be well within 100 meters for a discernible hit.

The problem with that line of thinking - that they want the nukes to be stolen - is that the devices may not be used against their enemies, but against themselves.
This is called, dumb and dumber.
Not everyone in Pakistan loves and cherishes the present government.

It depends on the size of the detector array. For an inconspicuous vehicle-mounted deal you’re probably right. If you could erect a gamma detector say 100 sq meters you could go out farther. If you had one 1,000 sq meters or so you could mount it to Art Bell’s triangle ship and hover overhead.
