Nuclear Weapons Drivers Found Drunk on the Job, Energy Department Watchdog Says

Fox News:

WASHINGTON -- Government agents hired to drive nuclear weapons and components in trucks sometimes got drunk while on convoy missions, including an incident last year when two agents were detained by police at a local bar during one assignment, according to a report Monday by the U.S. Energy Department's watchdog.

The department's assistant inspector general, Sandra D. Bruce, said her office reviewed 16 alcohol-related incidents involving agents, candidate-agents and others from the government's Office of Secure Transportation between 2007 through 2009. There are nearly 600 federal agents who ship nuclear weapons, weapon components and special nuclear material across the U.S.

The report said that two incidents in particular raised red flags because they happened during secure transportation missions while agents checked into local hotels during extended missions. In these cases, the vehicles were placed in "safe harbor," meaning they were moved to safe and secure locations.

One of those occurred in 2007, when an agent was arrested for public intoxication; the other happened last year, when police handcuffed and temporarily detained two agents after an incident at a local bar. The report did not identify the locations for either incident, and the Inspector General's office declined to identify them Monday, citing the safe harbor locations.

"Alcohol incidents such as these, as infrequent as they may be, indicate a potential vulnerability in OST's critical national security mission," the report warns.

An over-medicated, under-researched, serial-apologizing, narcissist socialist, race hustler with a meglomaniac billionaire puppetmaster.....has taken America by executive order, and an army of equally bent socialist czars. Congress is run by clowns, socialist profiteers & grifters; and SCOTUS has been infected with the wise Latina & Sgt. Schultz.

 

Somehow, smashed nuclear bingo seems natural for this time in our country's history.
