really doubt a 'nuclear device' would be brought in this way, at least by a terrorist outfit, especially now. Should a terrorist group gain a nuclear device or even a radiological weapon a shipping container is just too slow and too vulnerable a delivery mechanism. These are going to be their pride and joy, a one of a kind weapon. Such a device would not be left unattended in someone elses custody for weeks. The plot could be detected during the interim. The device could become damaged or even lost. The consequences of failure would be catastrophic for if the bomb were discovered or failed to detonate properly its antecedents would be traced.
Too slow? Device would be watched?
Are you aware that some of these containers have been rigged like hotel rooms? People being transported within these containers wearing a three piece suit, cell phones and laptops?
Damaged or lost?
Only one percent if that are inspected...the container shipping system is one of the most reliable shipping mechanisms around...
