Confirmed: Air Force Flunks Nuke Inspection
It's confirmed: The atomic missile team at Malmstrom Air Force Base, Montana "failed its nuclear surety inspection" earlier this week, Air Force Times is reporting. Inspectors found problems that 341st Missile Wing’s "weapons storage area and its personnel reliability program, which monitors who can work with nuclear weapons." As Danger Room reported on Monday, the 341st will be allowed to keep its nuke certification. A testing team returns in 90 days, to take a fresh look at the missileers.

The Air Force's nuclear mission has come under increasing scrutiny, after a series of embarrassing mishaps, damining reports, and fired officers. Which means these nuclear surety inspections (NSIs) have become much more rigid, and hard to pass, Air Force Times notes.

They should be "more rigid, and hard to pass." I feel safe??????

3. I guess it's my fault
I was in charge of security at the WSA at Malmstrom when I retired in 2005. According to republican standards, I must be at fault because I'm a Democrat. I hope I am only joking.
