Hard to know, I think. We had of course contemplated what we thought were likely targets for terrorists, but I'm not sure anyone had the WTC as the #1 target for flying jets into buildings. I sure didn't. Even though they had attacked it before, I think people would have given a different answer if someone asked them where was the most likely target for that to happen. I think they would have looked at political, military, and populous targets. My point is, it's hard to figure out what people's intentions are when they're way out there in left field somewhere. Standard military approach would lead them to solid military & industrial targets to try and shut down "The War Machine" as we did in WW2, but I'm not sure we're fighting against someone with the same intentions and mental/emotional state that we had with our leaders back then. These people are nuts. I think if they did manage to spark off a nuke near any population center, it would flood surrounding areas almost immediately, and there are bazillions of people looking to move to the sticks now, if something similar were to happen. It would be far worse than most of us imagine.
Truly, I think if someone lit off a nuke here, no matter how "Small", it would effectively end life as we know it. The govt would be telling us everything is okay- That it wasn't a "True" nuke, but a "Dirty bomb" while they go after the scumbags. All the while promising us that things aren't as critical as they are. They would try their best to contain it, and to silence it. The People on the other hand, would be in absolute chaos. In fighting would ensue and it very well could end things here for good.
