I suspect that the geiger counters are working overtime all over the country tonight. I would think that if there is such a bomb somewhere in the US, it will be quite dirty even before it is detonated. If it is detonated. If it exists. That means that it will be relatively easy to find compared to something less crude. Still, even a big glaring needle can hide in a haystack pretty easily.

A nuke or dirty bomb was my guess when I heard a news item (a couple weeks ago now, as I recall) saying we might use UAVs to scan the U.S. The only thing I could think that one could find that way is a radioactive source.

Everybody has heard about the supposed bogus e-mail about not going to the mall on Halloween. Also some psychic named Sollog predicts a suitcase nuke to take out the US government within 60 days of 9-11. I suspect the "Mall" in the e-mail refers to the Mall in D.C. If a dirty bomb does what you guys say, if it were detonated from the mall, it would contaminate virtually everything sacred to our country. The Mall is a pretty big open field. I could see where it could be pretty easy to go undetected. The monuments, the capitol, the White House, the Smithsonian...everything. Just speculating out loud.
