Like from "Shadow Ops"? Dunno, it makes sense that there are those though

I don't know, rense.com isn't always the most reliable of sources from what I've heard. Neutron bombs are in theory awesome weapons for military purposes. For terrorist purposes there useless, simply nuclear bombs make bigger, more noticable bangs, leave lethal radiation, destroy everything and create lethal fallout. So nuclear bombs are a little more openly destructive which makes them better for terrorist purposes. So if there is a terrorist WMD attack, expect biological, chemical, or nuclear warheads, probably not neutron warheads.

Portable and Neutron bomb can't really fit in one sentence since a nuclear bomb needs to be detonated on high alltitude if I remember correctly...

Nukes can be detonated at any altitude, they simply work better at high altitudes.

What I mean is, Neutron bombs need to detonate at high altitudes, they aren't a standard nuke...

Well, if you think about the panic that a sudden deluge of radiation sickness could cause in a city I would say that such a bomb, if practical (not sure about GroundZero's assessment as this is not my AOE) could be quite effective. How would the authorities explain such a mass sickness? People would flee the city in fear of getting radiation sickness. Now, the chances of contracting such sickness would certainly diminish over time (perhaps quickly, perhaps slowly) but people would not think about that -- they would think like most people would in that situation -- they would stay away from the city no matter what anyone says. How would we measure the economic impact?
