This just in: Nuclear weapons were on an Air Force plane!
The news stories are talking about a mistake in loading some weapons on a B-52, which is not something to be dismissed, but if you listen to the radio news and read other articles, the big issue seems to be "nuclear weapons! In the air! OVER THE U.S.!" Good God, where were these people during the Cold War? Okay, I'm not privy to the munitions movements during all those years, but there were probably dozens of nuclear weapons in the sky on military bombers going in and out of SAC bases and others all over the country, year in and year out.
