Antinuclear

Activist nun in USA has highlighted nuclear security danger

Rent-a-cops Guarding Nuclear Weapons http://lifeboat.com/blog/2012/08/rent-a-cops-guarding-nuclear-weapons Gary Michael Church http://news.yahoo.com/troubling-ineptitude-security&.  We spend hundreds of billions of dollars, a truly mind boggling amount of money, on defense.
Yet we guard the most dangerous material on Earth with faulty electronic devices and poorly trained private security guards.

Do we imagine that other nuclear nations are doing a better job than we are?
Do we, as citizens of the U.S., realize what would happen if terrorist bombs began destroying our cities?

“Thomas D’Agostino, the administrator of the National Nuclear Security Administration, the Energy Department branch responsible for U.S. nuclear weapons, said changes were underway after the incident.”

I am surprised he still has his job. If a natural disaster can cause a catastrophe like Fukushima, what could be accomplished intentionally? Nuclear power plants, with their pools of spent fuel rods, are prime targets for nuclear terrorism.
Destroying a Nuclear power plant with a nuclear weapon would give you two for the price of one. Pick the right day with the wind strong and headed inland and thousands of square miles become uninhabitable.

Several major cities are sited downwind of nuclear power plants.
