It's not like you need a huge transport vehicle to get enough grams for a nice bomb. Then take a pipe, some explosive material and you're almost done with some craftsmanship. If you're unsure, search google and read up on it.
A dirty bomb indeed. Though you do not buy these in grams. Uranium is generally measured in kilograms, a kilo is barely the size of a baseball. Gotta remember it's nearly 3 times the density of lead.

Considering a country, which will remain nameless, was able to sneak pullonium into the UK and kill multiple people with it without being caught. A dirty bomb will not be hard to get or fashion in a metropolis like London. Considering the ease at which russian nuclear material is attained this is a very real threat and hardly scare tactics. Definately something that needs to be addressed.
