Loose Nukes, mad scientist threaten world with an Apocalypse

Loose Nukes, mad scientist threaten world with an Apocalypse: "EUGENE, Ore. – There’s very little these days that gets the attention of savvy University of Oregon students here in trendy and “connected” Eugene; but, mention “loose nukes” and the real possibility of an Apocalypse that ends life as we know it and you get: “wow, that’s a bummer,” and “how can we stop it?”

Loose nukes is a term used by government officials when referencing poorly protected nuclear weapons in former Soviet Union states that tempt the likes of A.Q. Khan and other terrorists.

According to Congressional records, A.Q. Khan was the leader of Pakistan's nuclear weapons program. In 2004, Khan was placed under house arrest for his role in an international nuclear trafficking network and for sharing nuclear secrets with countries including North Korea, Libya and Iran."
