If we actually do suffer an attack using one of these radiation bombs, can we then deport potential terrorists from the USA? Please?

Or do we have to wait and suffer from something worse, an actual nuclear weapon, or some virus/bacteria beyond our control?

When do we get to send potential terrorists home?

I guess it's too much to ask for such deportations before the next attack. Sigh.

Don't ask me. Cause I am really radical. I support interment for recent middle eastern/Islamic immigrants until the nuclear threat can be assessed. I lot of people poo poo thinking that nuclear capability is out of the reach of terrorist organizations but I don't think so. I work at a small software company and we regularly compete with enormous companies that have 10000 times our resources and win. Assymetrical warfare requires thinking out of the box. Which the terrorist have demonstrated that they are willing to do.

Lemme give you an example. Do you think that the failsafe mechanisms on a nuclear device created in the 60's can withstand a cryptoanalysis attack by a modern day computer? Do you think that 20 year cipher will hold up? I can tell you it won't. Security is based on the percieved sophistication of the attacker. I can tell you right now that a 20 year failsafe mechanism on any type of nuclear device could not withstand an attack by a well funded attacker today.

We have to make sure they REALLY REALLY hate us before we can deport them.
