Frank in the comments to ARMZ Buys Wyoming Uranium Mines said that there are nuclear weapons found entering the port of San Diego. Well to say the least I was sceptical (love the Brit spelling). So I started checking for a reputable source. And it depresses me to no end to say I found one.
San Diego Channel 10 News – Interview Raises Questions Over Weapons Of Mass Effect In SD. Excerpted from the report:
In San Diego, every cargo container is driven through a radiation detector before leaving San Diego’s seaport.
“So, specifically, you’re looking for the dirty bomb? You’re looking for the nuclear device?” asked Blacher.
“Correct. Weapons of mass effect,” Hallor said.
“You ever found one?” asked Blacher.
“Not at this location,” Hallor said.
“But they have found them?” asked Blacher.
“Yes,” said Hallor.
“You never found one in San Diego though?” Blacher asked.
“I would say at the port of San Diego we have not,” Hallor said.
So nothing in San Diego but maybe elsewhere. And not necessarily a bomb. It may have been a conventional explosive device surrounded by radioactive material. The purpose may not have been to spread destruction but rather to spread panic. For that purpose ordinary mined uranium or even depleted uranium would do. The general population is scared of anything radioactive even if the level of radioactivity is small.
We have video of the interview and follow-up:
There is more video here. And information and speculation here.
If this don’t get your heebies jeeben I don’t know what will. I wish McCain had won the last election. We could sure use a guy with military experience at the helm in times like these.

Nothing to see here, people, move along…
Again, i’d like to thank Brian Ross of ABC News for his pioneering work in demonstrating to the world how easy it was to smuggle Uranium from the Philippines into the United States. With out his dedication to informing terrorists how best to get around security meant to protect Americans, it is possible that this opportunity might have been missed.
The jihadists of the World appreciate your efforts Brian Ross.

Oh, he didn’t matter. Anyone who’s been paying attention knows damned well it’s really easy to smuggle anything into the US. Paid any attention to who’s winning the “drug war” lately?
Actually, if it weren’t for the concentration on drugs, we might stand a chance of catching real dangers. (I suspect half of the TSA’s patdowns/scans are more designed to catch drugs than bombs.)
