The old movie "War Games" was a good tale, but never possible.
Secure codes have to be physically delivered and two people twenty feet apart must execute the launch.
Outside of a petulant President _______ (fill in your favorite name), an inadvertent launch is pretty much impossible.
I understand, but the fact they were still using this medium in a system is kind of intimidating. Ever have a floopy “freeze up” in the container just because it sat too long without being spun now and then? They would do the same thing that the old audio cassettes and VHS tapes would do when they sit too long, they rendered themselves almost “solid state”. lol
