The word "missing" in combination with "nuclear" can never be a good thing. It's kind of like when Russia lost a bunch of suitcase nukes. Yay for them. Anyway:
CNN said:
"It would be very difficult to remove this material from the site without somebody knowing about it," Sheehan said. "It would set off radiation monitors."
Which is obviously why they lost it. Go America.

Eh, I lose nuclear rods all the time. I use them to spread my jelly on my toast. Sometimes I leave them in my pants during the laundry cycle, and then the rod is ruined so I have to go out and buy another one. Sometimes I come home from work only to find that my dog (I don't own a dog) has chewed the shit out of my newest rod! It's frustrating. I can sympathize with Captain Nuclear, who is obviously the individual featured in that enlightening CNN story. These are certainly troubled times when not even Captain Nuclear can keep track of his precious, precious rods.
