I don't know that much about suitcase nukes but a couple of things ring true here. First, I have a very nice Iranian couple that lives next door, but are convinced by the mosque leadership that the Israeli's pulled off 911. These people would do anything for you, are the nicest people in the neighborhood, and love America as much as I do, but there is no doubt that their mosque is controlled by radical Islam, slowly introducing it's poisonous ideas.

Second, I was under the impression that the Soviet design of the suitcase nuke sheilded the radiation from detection from satellites, geiger counters, etc. That was the whole point of the back pack nuke. If it doesn't, then the carrier is on a bit of a suicide mission isn't he? Just wondering.

That would be some feat!

Even without shielding, a minimum Nuke would weigh close to 90 lbs. - With sufficient shielding to avoid detection, it would weigh over 175 lbs.

" That was the whole point of the back pack nuke. If it doesn't, then the carrier is on a bit of a suicide mission isn't he?

Not unless he carried it with him wherever he went for a month or more :-)
