who says it has to be a suitcase nuke? bin laden is loaded, and has no trouble moving people in. i could easlily see a large device being slowly assembled in a wharehouse in the middle of a metropolis somewhere. teh only thing that would really have to be imported would be the nuklear material, and thats easy enough, as there arent radiation detectors on our ports. the info to build is well known, and materials for building a nuclear device isnt difficult to get.
