As has been discussed in this chapter, nuclear and/or radiological weapons are extremely difficult for terrorists to obtain and/or develop. Still, even small versions of these weapons can cause extreme destruction and death. Because of the difficulty for terrorists to obtain them without being tracked, threats from such weapons are considered to be a low when compared to other types of weapons used by terrorists. Do you think it is poor judgment to consider these a smaller threat, or does it make sense to pour more resources into stopping other CBRNE weapons, considering the damage they can cause, and how much easier they are for terrorists to acquire?
What will be an ideal response?
I believe that it is not poor judgment to disregard these smaller threats because it is more beneficial to society to be more concerned about bigger and more destructive threats. If we put emphasis on these smaller threats it might take away from a bigger threat happening.
