Maybe you need to go back and reread Sam Cohen's statement that I was referring to. (It helps if you actually read posts before commenting on them.)
I am saying that the UNITED STATES GOVERNMENT shipping a RUSSIAN NUCLEAR EXPLOSIVE DEVICE from Washington DC to Los Alamos is extremely stupud.
If the government knowingly did such a thing, you don't think there would be steps taken to insure said device was inert? As long as the detonator is not with the device and the radioactive materials aren't leaking from the case, it's perfectly safe. Just 'cause you say it's stupid, doesn't necessarily make it so. Heck even the father of the Neutron Bomb (Sam Cohen) can have a difference of opinion without being "wrong" or even being "right."
