Just recalled reading somewhere that Russia considered using EMP weapons against US forces in 1999.
Nuclear data found missing at D-O-E office in New Mexico
WASHINGTON For the second time in recent weeks, the Energy Department says some data involving nuclear weapons has turned up missing.
This time it involves the regional office in Albuquerque, New Mexico. The Energy Department says that an "accounting discrepancy" involving three copies of a "controlled removable electronic media" -- or CREM -- was discovered as part of the nationwide inventory of such devices. The inventory was ordered a month ago after two CREM data devices were reported missing at the Los Alamos National Laboratory, also in New Mexico.Despite extensive searches, investigators have yet to find those two devices.D-O-E officials have not suggested the devices were stolen, but are concerned about lax procedures and security.
