I was just watching a news report about removing fissile material from the Balkans. The 'bombproof' containers the stuff was in looked suspiciously like every other shipping container I've ever laid eyes on, and having worked on a container ship for 4 months I've seen a few. The mouthbreather presenting the report also made the asinine comment that the ship the stuff was loaded onto in some port in Slovenia had nearly been hijacked by Somali pirates some months previously; as the ship's voyage would take it out of the Med past Gibraltar and north to Murmansk or similar, this wasn't a plausible danger. As you were.
