HS Analysis Box 9-2 discusses the Pakistan/Taliban nuclear issue. A concern is that the Taliban controls part of Pakistan and the Pakistani government has been sympathetic to them in the past.

Second, discuss what you think the US should or could do to monitor the Taliban and potentially stop a threat should one arise.
