I love the supposition that CERN has huge amounts of antimatter lying around in easily transportable containers just waiting to be stolen.Hell, the containers they used for transporting antimatter on Star Trek required two people to move them!

Off-topic discussion. Wanna talk about corsets, duct tape, or physics? This is the place. Detailed discussion of any current-season TV must be whitefonted.
You just go down to your local Home Depot and ask for an antimatter bottle.
I read Angels and Demons, and stealing it was a big complicated thing. And IIRC only a small amount was stolen.
signed, don't know why I remember this
Ahahaha! Rolcats!

stealing it was a big complicated thing.
Yeah, I suppose it would be. Of all the ways to destroy the Vatican, stealing antimatter to blow it up would be about the most complicated....
How would the 0.25 grams of antimatter only annihilate the Vatican and nowhere else?
The Vatican is comprised of exactly 0.25 grams of matter?
Yes! The rest of it is just a hologram. In the movie, Tom Hanks will use string theory to prove this.
According to my calculations, 0.25g of antimatter reacting with 0.25g of matter would release 44 TJ of energy, or about half the size of the bomb dropped on Nagasaki.
