B52's tour America
with nuclear bombs! 
US B-52 'in nuclear cargo error'
A B-52 bomber flew across the US last week mistakenly loaded with up to six nuclear-armed missiles, unnamed air force officials are quoted as saying.
The missiles were unaccounted for during a three-hour flight from a North Dakota air base to one in Louisiana.
Air Force spokesman Lt Col Ed Thomas told Army Times the weapons were "always in our custody".
Army Times said the missiles were to be decommissioned but were mistakenly mounted on the bomber's wings.
The W80-1 warhead has a yield of five to 150 kilotons, the paper said.
A military official told AFP news agency that President George W Bush had been informed of the mix-up.

An airburst with a 150 KT yield could do some damage!

I saw this and wondered if it was the USA giving the Russians a wake up, they always monitor each other and I bet a few Ruskies wondered what they were doing, yet the yanks dont know themselves by the sounds of it.
