But then the idea of a Nuke coming into American air space without detection and removal is pretty remote, its just not that easy to pull off.
In short I would not count on this happening anytime soon. Great read I am sure for paranoid folks there is a big market for it and giving another thing to be afraid of is big bucks!

Really, or are you making that all up? Simply not enough material to keep fission? What does that mean? All the material that is used up in a nuclear fission bomb is already on the bomb. There has been nuclear detonations 500+km up in space.
Please don't say things like 'simple scientific facts' when you're making things up.
