Unusual topic for this forum.  
Badgerman was referring to "Operation Chrome Dome".  President Ronald Reagan saw the importance of nuclear weapons.  Detante or the concept of "mutual assured distruction" prevented the USA and the USSR from having a conventional war for many, many years.  The arms race was more of a bankruptcy race and the Soviets went bankrupt first, thus failing economically and colapsing.  
The fact that the Manhatten Project produced two functional nuclear weapons in the 40's is simply evidence that nuclear weapons were going to exist.  It is far better that the USA was first and not the Nazi's.  
Having been taught physics by a man that participated in the experiments at Oakridge, TN, I'm very confident that the weapons within the US arsenal can be safely transported without any need for the general public knowing.  A person is smart but people are stupid.  People live there lives only because they don't know of the potential horrors that are near them on a daily basis.
