So once more we will have so called experts telling us that it is impossible for those who are engaged in a Jihad against us to have these weapons. when one goes off in the USA they will blame some Right Eing Group as they are now with the Anthrax attacks.

A radiological bomb is different from a nuke in that it uses conventional explosives to scatter radioactive dust over a wide area. If you exit the area quickly, shower, and toss the clothes you will probably be all right, but the real esate will be contaminated and unusable for years

Heard it mentioned on one of the Networks as a "dirty bomb". Is that the same thing we are talking about?

I do realize there is a major difference between a radiological bomb and a nuclear device but I have heard many so called experts bloviating about how no terrorist could really have such a device and all concerns were overblown. The cost of radiological cleanup would have a significant impact on whatever state was targeted with such a device.
