Because they can carry the tools of their trade across the border (weapons of mass destruction), they can't check it in their luggage...

If they lug a 30 yr old suitcase nuke across a friggin desert and the thing still works I will be mightly surprised.....

If I was going to do that, I would bring it to eastern Canada by ship and then either fly (private plane) it or drive it across.

So, you think the ONLY way AQ will get into America is via aircraft....somehow they're less intelligent or crafty than those who illegally cross the borders, daily.

And there's no bomb-making material within the U.S., either?

Where did McVeigh get his bomb-making material from? Outside the U.S.? Where did AQ get their bomb-making material from for their first WTC attack? the second? where did AQ get their bomb-making material from on Flight 93?
