I think if they found a nuke they would try very hard to squelch that info and keep it from media release...I suspect there are certain possible news stories that have to be "cleared through channels" for national security reasons or an airwave sword of damocles will descend promptly. We will read of it first...and the webpage easily might vanish.

Agree completely. Just knowing we found a nuke would cause a lot of people to panic.

However, I am not sure that would justify not releasing the info. Confirmation that we really face a nuclear attack would cause a lot of people to educate themselves on how to protect themselves, and to take steps to do so.

I worked with nukes extensively while I was in the Air Force (decades ago). I learned a LOT about how to protect myself and my family at the same time. Contrary to popular opinion, there is a LOT you can do.

Yup

Then again---imagine the MASS PANIC if it got out that a nuke was found in the city. People would be cramming onto the trains and busses. Traffic would be backed up all over the city. Businesses would be closed- even the stock exchange. People would do whatever they could do to FLEE. There would be mass chaos.

So it could be possible that the nuke- was discretely removed, with no mention to anyone. (except NEIN)
