Hard to pinpoint origin in the case of bad actors...
- wongarsu 3y agoThe only reason nuclear weapons are easy to pinpoint is because so few actors are capable of making them. If you had one you could load it onto a semi truck, drive into the middle of New York or Moscow and detonate it, with all evidence conveniently destroyed in the blast.
- runjake 3y agoKeep in mind that there are nuclear detection sensors deployed throughout the US and if you tried to roll a nuke-containing semi into New York, there would be a heavily-armed team trying to intercept you[1]. Supposedly[2], they are sensitive enough that it's untenable to transport enough lead around to shield it. 1. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/National_Nuclear_Security_Administration#Nonproliferation https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/National_Nuclear_Security_Admi... 2.
