the interesting thing is, the device may have to be built but possibly never operated. the existence of this device would make all nuclear-bomb-holders scramble to disarm them. OTOH we'd also have to know where the bombs are pretty precisely, if i understand correctly. i'd put the bombs on a nuclear airport luggage belt and have them go around in circles. makes a moving target out of them.
