In my opinion this merely falls into the category of terror. People are terrified of nukes and rightly so.

The truth is that there is no need for suitcase nukes. A van full ow horse manure and diesel fuel can be just as devestating and is much easier to procure, conceal and use. Look at OKC and how nearly the WTC was droped in the ninties.

A dirty bomb, by definition is a bomb which spreads radioactive material. It is easily spread by conventional means. Have you ever noticed the dust cloud created by a conventional demolition charge? Imagine that it is radioactive. Low grade nuclear waste and medical isotops are easily obtainable since they IMO aren't well secured.

One of the results of terrorism is rumor. Rumor consequently spreads terror.
