Good point. Now that the border is wide open, they should have no prob sneaking it into Phoenix.
Seriously though, the problem is how to handle the radiological materials. It was a medical imaging device of some sort. Cracking it open and exposing the core will kill unprotected handlers. The pit has to be milled into a powder in order to be a viable "Dirty bomb". In truth what is needed is a radiological dispersal device - something to blast the ground pit into the air/wind at an altitude. Again, very difficult to do.
