Oh my god, Is this real? This totally destroys my confidence in high tech security keeping us safe. Anyone remember how little it took for these floppies to fail? This is something I would have kept a secret, little Kim is probably more up to date than this. lolI work in nuclear command and control these days. Remember how long we've had these systems and understand how low their priority has been for modernization for both "if it works, then why change it?" and "security through obscurity" reasons.

My concern was reaction times. Kind of like the difference of latency between a heliograph and smoke signals. Historically the difference was the determining factor in conflicts.
