I am not too worried by the fact that ABC was able to ship depleted uranium into the US for two reasons:

1) its relatively harmless. The only way tohurt yourself with DU is to eat it or breath it. It is mostly an Alpha emitter (2neutrons and 2 protons) with the occasionally moderate energy Beta (a fast moving electron) and the occasional high energy Gamma (high energy photon) The alpha particles are stopped by pieces of paper, the Beta will be stopped by metal or a foot of water and only the Gamma has significant penetrating ability. It has no use in weapons (other than weak radiological weapons) and you can buy it in antique shops (orange fiesta ware).

2) Its really hard to detect. More dangerous nuclear materials such as weapons grade plutonium or uranium emit many more high energy gamma rays and neutrons that are detectable outside of a container without more sophisticated shielding.

The ending is definitely the best part on that one.
