True.
Hoping its a hoax.
Then again,on sept 10th i would have believed planes hijacked into the twin towers and pentagon were tin foil paranoia.
I learned never to say never then.
One good thing, if its true we are alert for it now.
It could even be a diversion.
We know they want to hit us back and they are trying.
I trust Delta Force or someone is on it if true.
If its a hoax Freepers will expose it soon if the past is any indication.

i have my doubts that there are any "Jack Bauer" types left in the CIA to pursue things like this.

Well, airplanes have been hijacked before.

When a truck carrying contaminated rebar drove into LAMPF (the driver was lost), the radioactivity detectors went off and a picture taken. Not much radioactivity but rebar shouldn't have any. The driver was identified and reached by phone at a Santa Fé truckstop. Investigation found that the rebar was contaminated in Mexico by cobalt from a dithermy machine that was stolen by someone here in the US and sold to Mexico for scrap (the thief didn't remove the cobalt.) The Mexican NRC equivalent traced this stuff to Juarez where some people had died of radiation sickness. A junkyard was decontaminated. Big story at the time.

The point is that there are radiation detectors all around for various reasons. Anyone carrying 180lbs of nuclear waste would show up pretty quick.

If the story is true, the thief should be pretty sick now and a search of hospitals should be useful.

Still seems to be a hoax. The lack of source for the story is a hint.
