Think about it, a terrorist with some C-4 can take out a building, or a stadium, or a train station.
A TERRORIST WITH A NUCLEAR DEVICE CAN TAKE OUT A STATE!!!

Jason. It would take an awful lot of C-4 to take out a Stadium. 2 tons of Ammonium-Nitrate didn't take down the Federal Building in OK city in 1995 or WTC #2 in 1993.
The multimegaton bombs are Thermo-nuclear, i.e., Hydrogen bombs. A few of those will take out a large city. A fisson bomb is usually measured in kilotons. While these are bad, they are not capable of completely destroying a large city, let alone a state. They would make a mess of a multi-square mile area. Stregeically placed, one could take out all branches of our Federal Govt, though.
No terrorist group would be able to make fusion bombs. Way too big.
