Bhadhidar, you must understand that detection systems cannot possibly cover all of the NYC or any major city. And counter-detection measures are also an option. Same applies to the border. Furthermore, it's possible to obtain radioactive material on American soil. Example:

Radioactive materials that could be employed in RDDs range from radiation sources used in medicine or industry to spent nuclear fuel from nuclear power plants. In general, the physical protection requirements for radioactive sources widely used in commerce are quite lax; however, the largest radiotherapy sources typically contain no more than a few hundred curies of gamma-emitters like cesium-137 or cobalt-60. Sources of this size, if removed from their shielded containers, could present an acute hazard to individuals within the vicinity (tens of meters) of the source. However, an effective dispersal of the material would tend to dilute the concentration downwind of the site of detonation to relatively low levels quickly. Acute radiation hazard would probably be confined to an area of a few hundred meters radius around the site for a ground-level release. However, the occurrence of localized areas of contamination further downwind would be a possibility, depending on the meteorology.


Nuclear Terrorism --- How To Prevent It


If you sum all of the possibilities together, it would be quite possible to make a couple of dirty bombs with significant quantity of radio-active materials.

Radiation leak Detected at an auto accident scene!

And driver has fled from the scene... And no further reports on the accident. Only thing I've found is that escaped vehicle owner's father gave police explanation that they've found 'plausible'. I don't know about this one, but it surely seems fishy.
