@Mister44

I didn’t realize the dirty bombers had a lobby… er I guess maybe there is a radioactive material lobby?

@doctorow

Previous efforts to beef up the tracking of nuclear materials have been successfully resisted by nuclear industry lobbyists.

At what point are checks and measures ridiculous to prevent something that has NEVER HAPPENED.

Ask an economist. Usually around the point where the cost of the measure are the same as or greater than the cost of the something.
