Transportable (backpack) nukes are quite feasible and the US has a few (described on the fas.org website). I worked once with an

ex-sub sailor who had trained carrying them around and setting them up. I am led to believe that direct fusion devices (a.k.a.

neutron bombs) are free from the critical mass constrains of fission gadgets... ops... they are knocking at the door... ops...

carnivore what?... what?... nice badge you have there sir...
