Is that policy no less important today? It is none of anybody's
business where that stuff is currently or has been stored.

You're right, --good thing you didn't tell, then you'd have to kill

Of course, the triple wire and "special weapons magazines" labels
on maps of facilities like, oh say, NAS Moffett Field were a
dead giveaway.

It's a giveaway that the field is *capable* of handling special
weapons - something the DoD rarely denies is present. It says nothing
about whether or not something is actually there, and *that* is what
is neither confirmed or denied.

It is a somewhat amusing situation. In the months prior to 9/11, the
submarine force had been making great strides in coming out of its shell.
We were giving regular tours of the boomers at Kings Bay to what seemed
like anybody that wanted them - the Boy Scouts, the Rotary, school science
classes, you name it. It was kind of funny to watch the looks we'd get
giving the neither confirm or deny speech to guests on a ballistic missile
submarine that was obviously getting ready to go to sea ....
