[Smokin' Joe]

All the guys I knew at Minot were very serious when it came down to nukes, and I'll let my point stand for those who aren't as in the know as you are.

If you ever see them moving weapons out to the silos, you'd see that, too.

Nobody wants to be the one who let one fall into the wrong hands.

The bottom line, though (for the tourists' benefit) is that it takes more than just lax security (at a few levels) to even get the weapon on the apron, much less send it out of town--and this was more than one weapon.
