This is serious. It is big enough that possibly a nuke could be shielded from detection to some(not all?) sensors, or chemical weapon/s.

"This is serious. It is big enough that possibly a nuke could be shielded from detection to some(not all?) sensors, or chemical weapon/s."

I agree, that it's serious.

And so does the FBI. That is why they are asking for people's help. I am sure they have been searching for it diligently, and said they think they would have found it by now, if it had been an ordinary theft, so to speak.

The fact that they didn't hints at some alarming possibilities.

[FairOpinion]

The terrorists would choose something like that, precisely because most people can't tell them apart and are used to seeing tanker trucks all over the place, so it's virtually invisible.

I think the government should install some tracking devise on tanker trucks, something that is hard to find and disable, so if someone steals one, they would have to get it to a "safe" place, to do it, and hopefully we could find them before they manage to disable it.

[WFTR]

With a tanker that big, they wouldn't need a nuke or fancy chemical weapons. With that capacity, they could use something much more conventional and make a big hole in something. I don't think it would be at all hard to do.
