IN THE NEWS
I often link to Armchair Generalist because, among other reasons, the author knows a great deal about the real world of detecting chemical, biological, and nuclear weapons. He'll tell you what smells like a real threat, and what doesn't. It's therefore worth reading what he has to say about Al Qaeda's possible interest in the American oil and natural gas pipelines, which seems more likely than the FBI's fears about nuclear material hidden in mosques.
