The New York Times runs an article on smuggling nuclear materials.

 
  • German police intercept a shipment of uranium bound for Libya.
  • The article states that this was "low-grade material not capable of being used to make a nuclear weapon."
  • The article implies that this is only the tip of the iceberg. Other potentially much more dangerous materials may also be vulnerable.

Conclusion: The danger associated with control of surplus nuclear materials is real and getting out of control.
