I'm not worried. A bomb containing 2.5 tons of plutonium would be kinda hard to fit into a suitcase...

Turn this around, though. If you want to test security, you plan an attack that seems likely to succeed--or you're wasting your time with your test. I'd be more worried if they PASSED each mock terrorist attack with flying colors. That would mean that we're not being realistic about the vulnerability.

As long as there are planes in the sky and facilities like this need any material brought in, there's no such thing as perfect security. We need to know where the flaws are--or rather, the people in charge do. I'm not sure that broadcasting our weaknesses over the media is such a wise idea even if it titillates our curiousity bump.
