I doubt the latter part of what you're saying. It's pretty well
protected, esp. here in the US. In other countries.... well, the
Republicans wanted to block the treaty, so I guess they thought all
was cool.

"The treaty" has nothing to do with non-fissionable materials.
There are tons of high level waste and a few pounds of it could cause
a whole lot of problems if someone threw it from a plane in a very
modest low explosive bomb over a big city. For that matter you could
just throw them off the roof of a few tall buildings on a windy day.

Radiological weapons are most likely to be developed by home-grown
terrorists vs. foreign ones.

I didn't say where the terrorists come from, nor does it really even
matter. If anything, home grown terrorists are better at their job
than foreigners.
The anthrax guy, the DC sniper, McVeigh (OK City) and the Ft Hood guy
did a lot more damage than all the foreign terrorist terrorists
combined if you exclude 9-11.

And, yet, we invaded Iraq... sigh....
