Geez, can anyone say "WarGames" meets "MS Flight Simulator"

I agree. A bomber flying over the United States loaded with nuclear warheads without anybody knowing is a non-news item.
Even if they dropped the bombs they wouldn't have done anything. You could light a nuke on fire and while the conventional explosives in the bomb could explode it would not initiate a nuclear explosion. Actual danger was very little.
...huh?Anyone remember when an F-16 bombed a middle school in New Jersey?
My interpretation of the article wasn't just that it was carrying them as cargo, but was armed with them.
And the second part of my problem with this was that nobody was keeping track of these warheads.
The missile were either carried on the pylons or in the bomb bay, either way the pilots actually have to "arm" the nukes before they are ready to be used in combat. Without going through the arming sequence they are basically inert.

I would be more worried about loose Russian nukes or incidents like the following: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_military_nuclear_accidents
I think Firecat is thinking along the lines of "what if the pilot was trying to smuggle them out of the country to some group who may be able to get around the arming problem and send them back to the US."
lol...thanks, but that's now what I was thinking.
Next season on '24'.....
