Len: OT: I think he was confused on the fact that they would not be armed without GWB saying drop those suckers. (IRAN anyone?)
Inadvertent Explosion:
"Nuclear weapons are designed with great care to explode only when deliberately armed and fired. Nevertheless, there is always a possibility that, as a result of accidental circumstances, an explosion will take place inadvertently. Although all conceivable precautions are taken to prevent them, such accidents might occur in areas where weapons are assembled and stored, during the course of loading and transportation on the ground, or when actually in the delivery vehicle, e.g., an airplane or a missile."
-Atomic Energy Commission/Department of Defense, The Effects of Nuclear Weapons, 1962.
Signatures are so yesterday!
