You know how big a "small" nuclear weapon is right?
Thats why it was in a scrap metal truck?! And people wonder why we (The U.S.) get involved when other countires start to handle this material and want to know what they are doing with it and where it is going. Look at Iran, Pakistan, etc....! Some people/countries should not have any of it to begin with!
Whats the saying?.... Better to as for forgivness than to ask for permission! I'm all about offense b/ its the best defense! Thats all I'm saying!

Where did it say scrap metal truck?
Article stated that the scrap metal in the truck may have been the target by common thieves.
I call BULL$#*& on that though!
I hope they don't bring that to the CocaCola bottling plant in Mexico cause man that is some tasty stuff!
about the size of a large ALICE pack.
Cobalt-60 is some nasty stuff. When we were in Monterey Mexico they were using it to x-Ray our welds. The exposure time was really short on xxxheavy pipe. Even the x-Ray techs were scared of it. If it were to be used in a dirty bomb it would have the potential to get really nasty for a bunch of people, if there was enough used.

Wouldn't it just be a matter of packing it around a few pounds of c4, or even some low order explosives (blackpowder, propane, ANFO, etc.)?
Also, couldn't they just dump it in some city's reservoir?
