Pakistan “Hides” its Nuclear Warheads in commercial Delivery Vans! 
Many defense observers think the greatest threat to world peace is the failure of the Pakistani military to secure its nuclear arsenal.  This remarkable story, which appeared first in National Journal, suggests the Pakistani military has dispersed its arsenal in mobile commercial vans with light or no security- to hide them from the United States!  http://www.wired.com/dangerroom/2011/11/pakistan-nukes-delivery-vans/  The article suggests that to hide their arsenal from the threat of American seizure, they’ve actually made it less secure against the threat of seizure by a terrorist organization.
Though the Pakistani army claims the nukes are “demated”- that is, the fuses are kept separate from the bombs themselves, this is the same military that could not find Osama Bin Laden living less than a mile from their equivalent of West Point (for five years!) , and who did not know we had penetrated hundreds of miles into their airspace and taken the dead Bin Laden away until we told them.
I’ll have sprinkles on my warhead please.
