Nuke Material at port? umm Yess.
Not sure of the details on this story but it definitely is plausible
A local news report in San Deigo that where the reporter ask a port security spokes person.
the jist of the interview is this, not the exact wording but close enough.
REPORTER
"So you search cargo for Dangerous weapons, like nuclear devises."
SPOKESMAN
"that's right"
REPORTER
Ever found any?
SPOKESMAN
"Um... No not at this one."
REPORTER
"At others then?"
SPOKESMAN
"umm ... yes"

OK so , yeah, I'm not THAT surprised. most of the cargo is not searched. the TSA is doing important work patting down children and checking under old women's breast, No time to check huge containers shipped in from foreign countries picked up and driven into major cities and small towns all over the country.
And the few thousand other ways a that we could be attacked.
There is no way to protect for all contingencies. period. But containers are an easy problem to cover seems to me.
Now the question who has a nuke devise or material to send is another story
not Iraq, probably not Al quida, not Iran, not Afghanistan, these are the people we are at war with. but none are capable of a nuke devise.
this is a very interesting story.
OK wild speculation here...
imagine if China put a nuke in with a wal-mart cargo shipment.
Or an "ally" did it to stir us up to more war somewhere.
or a helpful multinational defense contractor
the soviets have little to gain if we are nuked at this point. I think they are satisfied watching us slowly crumble away.
Pakistan? not the leadership who have the keys to the nukes and are getting FAT u.s. checks for being an "ally" in/against terror.
I dunno but...
Que bono
who benefits
