Glad to see the nukes are safe...

Before dawn on 28 July 2012, intruders broke into the United States nuclear weapons facility in Oak Ridge, Tennessee.

They cut through three fences, set off alarms and managed to pound on the wall of a building that housed enough highly enriched uranium for thousands of nuclear weapons, before finally being confronted by a single guard. They were protesters, but what if they had been terrorists?

The subsequent inquiry found "ineptitude" among the guard force of private contractors and "multiple system failures" including broken security cameras that nobody had bothered to repair.

F*&K?

Really?

After 9/11 I find it hard to believe that you would be surprised to find out that government is completely and utterly incompetent.

This is simply par for the course in government.
Flying a plane directly into the pentagon I would think should be fairly high on the list of government security gaps.

It's kinda like being shocked that your gf would make out with a guy at the bar while drunk when just a week before she was involved in a gangbang that went viral on the internet.
It was pretty obvious she was a skank long before the bar incident.

Whats the big deal? It's just enriched uranium. You can hold the stuff in your hands with no ill effects. Frankly even if you were to get a whole bunch of it, it's not like you can easily make a nuclear weapon... You can easily kill yourself by having some of it go critical but getting the big boom you would want to see is a lot harder than you might think. There is a reason it's taken North Korea so long to build something that is weaker than the weapons the Americans used against Japan... Not really all that worried frankly if you steal a lump of uranium. I will worry when someone steals a warhead or an ICMB.
