Unless you have a lot of shielding, I would think building a dirty bomb would be rather easy to detect by authorities looking for it.

BOSTON -- The Massachusetts Emergency Management Agency has been placed on standby, and public safety officials are meeting at the bunker, according to a published report Wednesday.
There have been reports that the FBI office in Boston received a call from an FBI office in California warning officials about a suspicious person that may be in the area, according to the Boston Herald's Web site.
No specific threats have been confirmed, but FBI agents in Boston have been put on alert, and officials started to gather at MEMA at about 1:30 p.m.

Leave Boston? Home of the no-racial-profiling crowd? Weak link in 9/11 airport security? What a gag.
I'm glad someone posted. I heard this on WRKO (in Boston); so I came on here to see if there was anything.
And at what point does the FBI think it would be a positive thing to make the situation known to the public, and why?
It never hurts to search

The bad guys are really into "surprise," so now that this is out, they won't do it.
Not in Boston, anyway. Heads up in other cities, though.
What if the culprit isn't from the middle east? There are plenty domestic and other international terrorists that are capable off doing something like this.

Welcome to Free Republic!
What kind onf odds do you want?
I got a phone call from the President about it. I got 24 hours to find out who planted and why. I got my sig sauer .375 and ready to roll!
We need to keep our eyes on the ball! The DC area is where the terrorist will get the most out of an attack. This could be disinformation to divert detection devices to the Boston area. I am confident we have a very capable defense posture.
Jack Bauer---that you?
They hate the West. Why are they here ?
Have they looked in Kerry's house yet?
Im right behind you, what can I do to help?
It is however not without irony that the hotbeds of anti-American appeasement are the prime targets of the IslamoFascists: NY, Boston, Washington, LA....
