I sincerely hope that it is as hard to set one of those things off as you're saying ... but there are people who know how to do it, and who would be more than hungry enough to provide that information for the right price.
Of course, they don't necessarily have to detonate it as a nuclear device to cause devestation ... the dirty bomb concept, while less sexy than setting off the real thing with the corresponding mushroom cloud, would cause significant damage, death, and havoc from the rad release alone. For that they don't even need anything as fancy as a nuke ... remember all those pictures of the hospitals I posted? Quite a few of them had x-ray machines in place ... some of which probably have the rad source intact.
