By whom? Paranoid whacko freaks like you?

Why would anybody bother to develop a ballistic missile when they could
just about ship a nuke UPS, and President Bush would not bother to
upgrade border security to stop it?


Because we aren't the only target on their agenda?

A missile can be too easily backtracked. The best way to do great harm
to two enemies with one blow would be to smuggle a missile into an enemy
territory and launch it at the United States.

OTOH that might be a lot of extra work. The perpetrator of the worst
terrorist attack against the U.S. (or anybody else) in history is still
walking free.
