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.

I'm not familiar with the term, UAV. I take it that this device can detect radioactivity rather well.

I'm suspecting that if they do go radioactive, it will be in the form of a conventional bomb with radioactive material scattered. I suppose they may have a suitcase, but it would be easier for them to obtain the conventional stuff with some nasty waste. Just MHO.
