are a bunch of tin-foil hat garbage. I've seen links on the "Coming American Holocaust" before. Utter illogical trash.
Re bomb:
The only way uranium is dangerous in an explosive is if you have a critical mass of it wrapped in precision high explosives with a Polonium pit...IE atomic bomb. It would actually be good if a bomb was half uranium and half TNT-would do much less damage than one that was all TNT.

Exactly. Basically Lead poisioning. The radioactivity is insignificant. |

It would of course be possible to make a very nasty "dirty bomb." |
