A suitcase nuke weighs about 500 lbs I think. Technically, they are mines IIRC.

maybe they should call them footlocker nukes or something like that. I'd hate to have to carry around a suitcase big enough to hold 500 pounds of stuff.

Which would far exceed the load a cessna 150/152 can carry.

Well, maybe a cessna could carry it, if it didn't have a pilot or any fuel on board.

Actually Pappy, according to the National Terrorist Alert Resource Center suit case nukes aren't all that big - I suspect less than 100 lbs.
