Sorry, I can't quite buy that Klan members could get past the background check necesary to get the security clearance for that kind of job. These guys may possibly have been working at NORAD (security, maintenance?) but I don't think that they could have 'controlled the triggers' for the nukes.
Anybody with direct NORAD experience care to weigh in on this?
I smell a rat there, too. I don't think there's a big red "launch" button at NORAAD. To the best of my knowledge, they just detect enemy missile launches and track inbound threats.
I have no NORAD experience but I question whether the people who actually have their finger on the trigger (IE: could launch the missles) are not subjected to a very rigorous background investigation. Furthermore, I doubt if there is a hidden Klan member out there who wouldn't at least be known for having racist viewpoints, which would raise flags all over the place in a background investigation. Besides, I don't think there is anyone at NORAD who can just launch missles because they had the urge. I don't doubt it takes some process to prevent a nutcase from doing it on his own.
