"The mistake was so serious that President Bush and Defense Secretary Robert
Gates were quickly informed and Gates has asked for daily briefings on the Air
Force inquiry, said Defense Department press secretary Geoff Morrell. He said
Gates was assured that 'the munitions were part of a routine transfer between
the two bases and at all times they were in the custody and control of Air Force
personnel and at no time was the public in danger.'"
At no point was the public in danger, I could be wrong about this but if that plane had crashed, couldn't that weapon have been set off. I know that it isn't as simple as that. Even if it just exploded, it would be a pretty hefty dirty bomb.
