You don't believe there are backpack nukes?

I bet last week you didnt believe 4 terrorists could hijack 4 large aircraft on the same day and dive into the Pentagon, WTC's and aim for the Whitehouse either.

Get it?

If you don't know, then may I suggest just reading the thread and get educated. No offense intended, I am on your side

I don't think it is possible to make a true nuclear implosion bomb smaller than a suitcase and <50 pounds. It is also very hard, and really, really dangerous to make a small bomb (there would definitely be detectable "accidents"). They would also require a lot of maintenance. They wouldn't be that powerful - not enough to destroy a city. A terror weapon, yes - but of course, they would soon be answered with a very large sheet of glass.

Who needs "nukes" when we have nuclear power plants?

I remember reading Russia in the late 1980s did invent suitcase nukes.
