Pakistan’s missiles are short to medium range only, according to Wikipedia, so there isn’t a missile threat to the U.S. But a fission weapon doesn’t necessarily have to arrive on a missile. A van or shipping container would work too.

And in a shipping container, it could go anywhere. Only a percentage of them get inspected at customs, and then by rail, they could wind up as far in as Chicago, Minneapolis, Omaha, Kansas City, etc. It’s scary that it could wind up anywhere.

We need to keep these out of the hands of the Taliban.
