Not when its possible for a C150 to carry a small A bomb in a suitcase.


and how is this different from having the gov't scatter like hens when a
small car approaches? It's not like you have to approach very closely
with an A-bomb.


With the yield of an A-bomb that you could carry in a C150, you'd need
to. The largest nuclear weapon you could practically carry in a C150
would be something like a Davy Crockett. This was a nuclear bazooka
round weighing in at 76lbs, with a (user selectable) yield of between
10t and 250t of TNT.

You'd have to get it within 0.5km if *airburst* to be effective - if
exploded on the ground, its destructive range would be very short (maybe
a city block) - you'd have to drive right up to the gates of the White
House.

Of course if they had the Davy Crockett launcher too, they would only
have to get within 3 miles or so.
