Get confirmation and get back to us. I like my fresh doom to be back up with at least one more hearsay statement before I launch into panic-sex.

Oh good God the suitcase nukes... These alleged devices are vintage 1950's-1960's IF they exist at all. And that is a very big IF. It's very important to understand that unlike chemical weapons (regular high explosives) nuclear weapons need regular maintenance. The decay of the nuclear material degrades not only the fissile material but the electronics that support it. The only way these weapons COUL exist is if they were being regularly maintained and the fissile material replaced periodically.
IF these devices exist they have long since ceased to function.

The carrying case for the W54 Special Atomic Demolition Munition (SADM). The SADM had a yield of 0.01, or 0.02-1 kiloton and was operationally deployed between 1964 and 1988. The entire unit weighed less than 163 pounds (74 kilograms).

I will have to set a reminder for myself for the beginning of November so that I can come back to this post and ask you about it. I would rather poop on your fresh doom than sit here and participate in it (but I just had to come back to see your comment). See you in November Plucky....

The sky is falling....the sky is falling.....oh no.....look out. Not another prediction.
Um, you have nothing to contribute other than pooping on our fresh doom? I have you know that the end of October is the end of us all, as written in the maximus scribes of transcendentalists that said so some time ago, you know who they are.
I say enjoy peanut butter and jelly while we can.
