Not according to Homeland Security, which claims they do not have the
resources to protect them. You don't need an A-bomb to get inside a
nuke plant. As far as defending or protecting airports? Gimme a break!
It has already been proven many times that it can't be done.

I believe Homeland Security doesn't have the resources, but that is far from
saying it can't be done. What they are saying is they don't want to. They
say we cannot afford sky marshalls either - not and keep terrorists from.

How many nuke submarines have been captured? Cruisers? Bird Farms? Any
one of there could power a good size city.

How many nuke-armed B-52s have been hijacked?

The idea that nuke plants cannot be protected from terrorists is oxymoronic
if you think about it. The base I work on is surrounded by 12' chainlink
reinforced by thick wire rope to prevent vehicle entry and razor wire to
prevent individual entry. More critical areas are even better defended
altho I doubt there are as many claymores as we've been told. I've worked in
areas where one must pass through a "lock" where your ID is verified against
recorded photos and fingerprint data. These defenses are periodically
tested by trained teams. So far AFAIK none have got into a critical area.

Expensive? Sure, but prolly still make electricity cheaper than coal - and
definately with a whole lot less polution.
