#1 Wouldn't it be something if there were five concurrent tests in the five tunnels?

#2 NS, this is precisely what needs to happen. We must cripple North Korea's entire atomic weapons test facility in order to prevent them from gaining a scintilla of increased credibility in their marketing and proliferation of nuclear technology to rogue and terrorist regimes.

#5 I thought the NORK's had thousands of tunnels, many of them close to the DMZ, aimed toward SK and consisting of artillery emplacements ready to launch an all-out assault on their ~~intended victims~~ southern relatives.
How can underground test preparations be watched closely, anyway? Same goes for the subways built in Iran.

Please read "Deep Black" by William Burrows (no, not that William Burroughs). Underground construction always relies upon above-ground apparatus and support infrastructure. Just the mountain of soil removed from a tunnel is conspicuous to satellite reconnaisance. Need I mention how it is that we look for oil with satellites? Ever heard of side-scanning radar? GPR?
