If you have some very small nuclear warheads and have been working on using them as a primer for a hydrogen bomb do you:
A. Put it on a prototype missile that might explode or might be shot down, likely the weight of the deuterium and tritium will be a problem for such 50's tech.
B. Need to do nothing as it could be already shipped to your enemy, perhaps in some heavy plant equipment for shielding. You don't even need to do that, that you could have done is enough.
There is a reason many police helicopters etc. have radiological scanning equipment however you can 100% shield from detection easily. The idea that you cannot so this part of the theatrics to deter presumably total moron terrorists.
Once you have a nuke you cannot be touched, dead man's switch ensures KJU's personal survival at least. He might let some of his armies die as part of the game but you can't remove him or face a serious Pyrrhic victory.
It is far from a new idea as was airliners as conventional weapons, respective US and USSR embassies were suspected of being nuclear armed in the cold war. Tom Clancy use this as the plot of "The sum of all fears". It is all state theatrics on both the US and N Korea's part.
This is maybe why Trump called him 'a pretty smart cookie' recently though perhaps it was Kim's financial network.. regardless it is about the 'optics' of starting a war for votes.

N Korea restarted their nuclear program in 2002 and had their first successful nuclear test in 2006.Republican George W Bush was the president the entire time.Maybe if he hadn't been focused on Iraq he could have dealt with the real threat N Korea.
"October 9-12, 2000: Kim Jong Il’s second-in-command, Vice Marshal Jo Myong Rok, visits Washington as a special envoy. He delivers a letter to President Clinton and meets with the secretaries of state and defense. The move is seen as an affirmation of Kim’s commitment to improving U.S.-North Korean ties.
October 12, 2000: The United States and North Korea issue a joint statement noting that resolution of the missile issue would “make an essential contribution to fundamentally improved relations” and reiterating the two countries’ commitment to implementation of the Agreed Framework. The statement also says that Albright will visit North Korea in the near future to prepare for a possible visit by President Clinton.
October 24, 2000: Secretary Albright concludes a two-day visit to Pyongyang to meet with Kim Jong Il. During the visit, Kim says that North Korea would not further test the Taepo Dong-1 missile. In addition to discussing Pyongyang’s indigenous missile program, the talks cover North Korean missile technology exports, nuclear transparency, the normalization of relations, and a possible trip by President Clinton to Pyongyang.
November 1-3, 2000: A seventh round of missile talks between Pyongyang and Washington ends without an agreement in Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia. The failure to build upon the momentum derived from Secretary Albright's recent meeting with Kim Jong-Il diminished hopes of a presidential trip to North Korea before the end of President Clinton's term.
December 28, 2000: President Clinton announces that he will not travel to North Korea before the end of his term, citing "insufficient time to complete the work at hand." According to a March 6 New York Times article, Clinton's national security adviser Sandy Berger was hesitant to have the president leave the country during the presidential election dispute, which he deemed "a potential 'constitutional crisis.'"
2001
January 2, 2001: The United States imposes sanctions on North Korea’s Changgwang Sinyong Corporation for violation of the Iran Nonproliferation Act of 2000.*"

July 3, 3017: North Korea tests its Hwasong-14 ballistic missile. Initial analysis of the test indicate that the range would have been about 6,700 kilometers at a standard trajectory, making it an ICBM.
July 28, 2017: Japan, South Korea, and the United States report that North Korea tested an ICBM. Initial analysis of the test indicates a range of about 10,400km, not taking into account the rotation of the Earth, putting Los Angelos, Denver and Chicago within range. Russia claimed the missile was a medium-range ballistic missile.
August 5, 2017: The UN Security Council unanimously passes Resolution 2371, which imposes additional sanctions on North Korea in response to the July ICBM tests.
August 8, 2017: A leaked Defense Intelligence Agency report found that North Korea has produced miniturized nuclear warheads for ballistic missile delivery, including for ICBMs.
On the same day, in response to North Korean criticism of the United States, President Trump told reporters that "North Korea best not make any more threats to the United States.... They will be met with fire and fury like the world has never seen."

Considering that Bill Clinton, who was President from 1993 to 2001, made multiple speeches about North Korea's nuclear weapons program before attempting to cut a deal which they immediately violated -- the "restart" of their program means little.
At least George W. Bush called North Kore directly what it is -- part of the axis of evil.
