The risk of bunker busters
A flash video proposing that bunker busters could have negative unintended side effects. The more I learn about the explosive test planned for June 2nd 60 miles northwest from my home, the less excited I get. (via lvgleaner)

You're not excited because you think it's a step down the path towards using nuclear weapons? The June 2nd explosion will be totally NON-nuclear, right?
Er, supposedly it's not nuclear, but the government hasn't been entirely forthcoming. But it is an experiment designed to analyze bunker busting.
Say what you will about the government's use of lies lately, there's no way they would do an ABOVE GROUND nuclear test and lie about it. It's WAY too easy for any reporter with a Geiger Counter and big dreams to wander into the desert and win all sorts of journalism awards.
A lot of people don't mind presidential deception (it's running about 30% at the moment) but I think that number would drop when the deception is about above ground nuclear tests within the continental United States. Not many people (especially those who live in the Southwest) should be excited about that prospect.
