I'll agree it's moot .. but for different reasons.
Nuclear weapons are a 1940's technology .. Based on 1910's Science .. Very very old stuff.
Basic devices are not cutting edge , by any stretch .. How it works is not a secret by any means .. The required raw materials are available around the world .. etc.
Today's pen drives for $20 require more complicated and advanced science and technology to produce.
