I am putting this up because of it's content and appropriateness to this thread. It is from the December 31, 2003 issue, but just as relevant today.

"In a nutshell, we received secret information from the federal Office of Homeland Security, revealing the particular communities involved in situations they think may be a problem as far as posing a threat," Monmouth County (New Jersey) Prosecutor John Kaye said. "There were 69 sites highlighted statewide and one Monmouth County site, which we cannot reveal. We go on a big conference call and, as a result, get a lot more police presence funneled to the spots deemed most sensitive."

The information the prosecutor’s office received, Kaye said, revealed there were four or five terrorist teams lurking, which may or may not have weapons of mass destruction, including suitcase nuclear devices. "The potential to reach people with those suitcase devices is obviously much higher."

I particularly worry about the Oyster Creek nuclear plant. When they restricted flights at Wall airport over the holidays that plant was the first thing I thought of.

I'm not buying any of that. there is no way hundreds of state officials, down to that low a level, are brought onto a conference call with DHS and told that "4 or 5 terror teams are in NJ, and they may or may not have nuclear devices".

Thanks for posting this, Sean.

So it's been officially and publicly reported, with a quote from a credible source, that authorities are specifically concerned about the possibility of a suitcase nuke.
