Are ‘suitcase nukes’ a genuine concern?

Truck nukes are far more likely and doable.

Someone might want to call the Pentagon about this. They are going to be very surprised to hear the W54 is an act of fiction.

The way I understand it, a “suitcase nuke” would weigh about 200 lbs. and require regular maintenance (replacing tritium, etc.) to keep it ready.
It is doable, though. We have nukes we can shoot from artillery pieces.

I am 65 years old. I am sad to say, that due to corruption and mis management by our Government A-holes, I predict that during my lifetime there WILL BE A NUCLEAR DETONATION somewhere in our nation.

Google W-54 and SADM. 50 Kg was doable for a 2 man team.

With open borders you don’t need a suitcase. A semi would do nicely.

"Perhaps the most likely threat is from a suitcase nuclear weapon in a rusty car on a dock in New York City,"

If it's in a rusty car, it doesn't need to be as small as a suitcase - trunk-sized would do nicely.

If you expand "car" to include "light truck", and especially vans, then you can effectively hide a much larger device than a suitcase.

Are will still looking for the suitcase bombs the Russian smuggled into the US. They were all the rage on 9/12.

We are more a risk from someone taking hospital grade uranium and blowing it up with dynamite. That would set off all of the alarms and cause panic.
