To protect ourselves from that we need to establish good relationships with other nations and avail ourselves of whatever itelligence and help is possible. We should put money into protecting the ports and containers coming into the country (not underfund it as now). We should support nuclear non-proliferation to reduce sources of nuclear devices from nations developing them in response to US development.
