[quote user="snagletooth"] A crane heavy enough to lift an Abrams A-1? And load it on to what that wouldn't be seen? And with what, a credit card? I repeat, A TRAIN HAS NOT BEEN HIJACKED IN THE US SINCE THE CIVIL WAR!!!!! do what? take it where? Unload before the US Army realized "WHAT THE [censored]" Small arms i"m willing to give (Ask any inner city rail cop on Intermodal robberies), but A-1 Abrams, smart missell's, nuclear waste or weapons, extremely doubtful!! Ask the mafia when they "hijack" a trailer, they already know where to take it and they already have a customer. Ask the Irish Mob, same thing. Ask the military!! it's heavely guarded!!! it' would take an organized military to pul it off!! try to hide 20 tanks in your back yard.[/quote]All I am saying is if there is a will there is a way.  Isn't about 8 years ago in Atlanta Georgia, a guy took one of the Marine's M-60 Patton for ride?  ;-)  And the cops were powerless to stop and had to wait for the fuel to run out?  I really hate to think the level of corruption in this world but if you can steal a Ferrari with sophisticated alarms and securites and armed guards at dealerships/depot and smuggle it around the world then why not some plutonium or a granade launcher?  An Army ordance officer was arrested in Australia last week for selling 8 TOW type RPG to terrorist and since then, only one was recovered which means there are still 7 that's out there and the one that was recovered is only possible after the Federal Police spent $50,000 to buy it back.  Everyone has a price, it's just a matter of how much.One more thing, there was no plane hijack after the infamous DB Cooper but that doesn't mean it not going to happen.
