Design is still a major obstacle for advanced multi-stage hydrogen bombs. How they work exactly is still a major secret that isn't public knowledge AFAIK.

Yeah, but you don't need that to get people's attention. Any nuclear bomb at all is a Big Deal.

If your going for attention you don't even need to go critical. A dirty bomb should be enough for that.

Not exactly. A good primer on multi-stage design was published in a magazine called "The Progressive" in 1979.
