A.Q. Khan and nuclear smaggling ring

Washington Post reported on the IAEA investigation findings to the A.Q. Khan nuclear proliferation ring:

It was clear from the beginning that such networks is hard to disrupt, if not impossible. More and more actors today are interested in acquiring nuclear materials and devices, while others are not willing to give them up. Therefore, the role of nuclear weapons only grows and the outcome of such reality could be really devastating.

So, according to the IAEA (international atomic energy agency), "Much of the sensitive information coming from the network existed in electronic form, enabling easier use and dissemination." The WP goes even further: "The IAEA discovered, for example, that the smuggling ring possessed multiple designs covering nearly every aspect of nuclear weapons development, from uranium processing to "casting and machining and the testing of nuclear weapons components..."

It is really surprising that the topic is not discussed enough. The general public is not concerned enough and little educated. As a result, the decision makers are reluctant to take action.
