Even more sinister would be to just hide radioactive material some place. No bomb, no one knows whats wrong because no one casually sweeps a geiger counter, and this probably would probably irradiate people nearby for years before its found.
- hutzlibu 3y agoYeah, but the point of terror is to make terror, that people are afraid. Not to actually damage much. A dirty bomb would be a perfect terror weapon as people are afraid of radiation and mostly would not trust government when they declare it is safe.
- jjk166 3y agoThe US actually does have a radiation detector network that covers most major cities. If you have enough radioactive material to pose a threat to people's health from brief exposure over a non-trivial area, it would be detected. You'd probably also wind up on a lot of intelligence agencies' radars trying to acquire that much radioactive material and the equipment for handling it.
