I think Bush's rhetoric on Iraq has completely dulled our sense of what a

Sorry...I wasn't clear.

Yes, I did mean precisely a suitcase with a nuclear device. Supposedly, the
old Soviet Union had these and Russia may have lost a few...again,
"supposedly". None of the sources (on either side!) appear overly
credible.

But these look pretty heavy, so I've doubts that an ultralight can carry
them.
