mmm... better worry about it now than panic when it blows.
One bomb and we're back to militarised state, high-security and low freedom. A giant leap 300 years backward when democracy was all but a dream.
I think part of this paper is propaganda, like it was done during the fifthies communist witch hunt ( now applied to rogue states, ie. terrorist hosts). But it is still very true. Risks are there.

Why would anybody want to blow America? well, that's the main question. I don't think we can efficiently control every atomic bomb on the planet, but if we ask ourselves this question, maybe it would be a good start to reduce the risk.
I won't guess an answer on this thread, but i'm pretty sure it's not because they hate the american way of life.

And finally, being Canadian, i don't fear the bomb that will fall on a major american city as much as i fear the U.S. probable retaliation.
