I would really recommend reading Eric Schlosser's phenomenal book Command and Control. I don't know who told you that about safety, but the book paints a very different picture. There have been numerous very close calls that could have resulted in accidental detonations and it's luck, not safety checks, that they didn't.

The documentary film version is excellent as well.

Im aware of some close calls from a long, long time ago. Sandia revamped a lot of the tech not long ago. The source might have been talking about one or the other. Ill do some more research since I only have hearsay from people at this point.

Not to mention the threat posed by the number of suitcase nuclear device russians allegedly lost control of.

Except that there are no suitcase size nuclear weapons. This is nothing but a scary myth.

Somewhere a truck just killed someone right now.

I rest my case.
