As Trump preps a new executive order to stop would-be terrorists before they enter the country, a government report finds the threat could come from within—and we aren’t prepared.
While President Trump doubles down on the hypothetical threats of incoming terrorists posing as refugees, he might be ignoring a very real concern here at home: The U.S. is largely underprepared to detect or respond to the threat of a radiological terrorist attack on American soil.

Nobody in Washington wants to draw attention to the elephant in the room - and I don't mean Israel and its WMD.

Note then, that part of the situation is misrepresentation of real concerns. Another is suppression of misuse of Toxic Radioactive Proliferators as a real concern because of messing with design parameters - Fukushima being located in an earthquake zone prone to violent tsunamis being not an accident....but a matter of the turnkey operation being pushed through over objections of engineers at both GE and the contractor. Such being a matter of speculation is undermined by plans which illustrate similar use planning.
