ABC should be prosecuted. The only thing worse for the government than permitting smuggled contraband into the country would be letting the perpetrators get away with it!

ABC should be prosecuted.

Absolutely. Wasn't it ABC's John Stossel who did the phony rear end collision piece where the vehicle burst into flames, helped in large measure by an incindiary device planted near the gas tank. This type of contrived sensationalism journalism (if you can call it that) is not beneficial in the least. ABC should also be charged with trying to induce panic ... because you know if they had been successful, it would be a major hit piece. Because they weren't ... it's unlikely this story will air.

I too look forward to the prosecution of those who break our laws, but I wish the media would play the story fairly. Trying to stop nuclear weapons is a function of looking for radioactivity. The 'depleted' in depleted uranium is a reference to the fact that the radioactive material is depleted out of it...it has a minimal radioactive signature. The systems were designed to stop enriched uranium...not harmless depleted uranium. Getting depleted uranium through says nothing at all about the security with regard to radioactive material.

This is like smuggling ground up chalk through customs, then writing a story about how the drug dogs 'missed' the potential cocaine.
