How do you know the terrorists aren't scaling back

What does the recent published evidence unearthed from al Queda strongholds tell you? What is the perfect terror weapon?

But seriously, how would you stop a nuke from just burning up on re-entry? It would have to be one large nuke, either for shielding or systems to decelerate it??

WPS - What Pete said. It is no trickier than how ICBM's operate today (they actually fly into space now)-- it would be just incredibly slow and stupid to do it from the moon.

P.S. if terrorists have nuclear stockpiles in the first place, how come they a) havent used them, and b ) haven't been caught at border entries with them?

I would hope terrorists don't have nuclear stockpiles, but that doesn't mean they aren't trying to acquire them. I think North Korea's economy is in such a desperate state that if you offered enough cash they would do most anything for you.
