I thought these things were somewhat difficult to detect? (NEST had to be "close" to the device, sometimes they are shielded by lead, etc).

Not like we can just do a general sweep of the area with a chopper or something and see a red dot pop up on a scanner..

For this reason, I'm not so sure about the feasibility of moving any of these or not..if they ARE hard to detect, movement becomes much more plausible.

I think the technology has hit new levels of sophistication. Also remember that these are old devices and probably not well shielded. They would have escaped detection by being well and deeply buried all these years. Once brought to the surface, the firing mechanisms and wiring would have to be reserviced and tested to make sure they'll fire on command. I think this would be some form of circuit test, similar to the way we tested Claymore Mine firing devices.

Some seem to believe that we can detect from satellites. I'm skeptical.

What do you think, Mossad?
