MAD requires the overt threat of nuclear exchange by equally armed powers. The threat you describe above is purely asymmetric in nature NOT MAD.
As the asymmetric threat you have outlined….Checking every cargo container coming in to the country is impractical. The sad fact is that you and I will just have to live with the danger. This is a clear case where a good defense is a good offence….God Bless those Corsicans and their fine quotes.
