Watching our own store

There have been a number of articles about the risks involved with the Russian stockpile of nuclear weapons. But, last week revealed that we run our own risks. I'm referring, of course, to the flight of six nuclear warheads from North Dakota to Louisiana. Each of these warheads was ten times as powerful as the bomb dropped on Hiroshima.

Many nuclear specialists feel that our handling of nuclear weapons has deteriorated as the Cold War has wound down and as our Middle East wars have heated up. Is this also another problem stemming from our deployment of so much of our professional army to the Middle East wars?
