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.

Poohbah made a point on another thread of saying that the suitcase nukes would be useless after 6 years.
He also noted that AQ reportedly obtained them in 1998.
That has been 6 years. Use em or lose em?
