Actually, quack my colleagues, the suitcase bomb is a myth. This is where I acknowledge that I am not a scientist, meaning that by deduction I am not a nuclear scientist, but it seems like a lot of the commenters at the Duck have somewhat stronger skills in this department, or at least talkative friends. The bottom line appears to be this, on 'steamer trunk nukes':
The scary part is that by definition this sort of weapon is a surface burst and will produce a large fall out pattern. On the other hand Iran is down wind from Israel.
Are the mullahs wise enough to know? I think so. In the meantime, can we wise up to debunk the Oswalds with Nukes notion? It'd help cool our jets over Iran. The real problems are already real: guys running around seeping radiation in a slow suicide attack, guys spraying machine gun fire, anthrax....
