I read through the article and didn't see the falsificaiton of the idea that one could get a container with a nuclear devise built that would be undetectable unless it was opened and inspected on the high seas? I hear talk about sucessful tests, but we know that tests have been rigged in the past. I'd be much more likely to believe a test where one company designs the evasive missles and the other designs the ABM system, and bonuses are paid to one side or the other. Its true, we were fortunate that the Russians decided to not make an issue of us useing the escape clause in the ABM treaty. That wasn't my real worry. My real worry was that it will be as practical as the last two time we were told that the technology is here to build the system. Indeed, the exact same things that set up the warning flags for the compressed air car sets up warning flags here.
