Deb - the Davy C weapon system wasn't all that good when it was new. Pulling 6 out of a warehouse or wherever they've been since 1971 isn't as much of a threat as some of the newer stuff that we gave to Iraq and which was captured by ISIS. Remember back when the Soviet Union invaded Afghanistan and we gave the Taliban some shoulder-fired anti-aircraft missiles? That were later used against us. The world is full of US weapons that we have sold, gifted or otherwise allowed into uncertain hands. We're currently selling top-of-the-line stuff to Saudi Arabia, the nation that provided something like 17 out of the 19 9/11 terrorists.
Anyway, the story doesn't make a lot of sense, since anyone with piles of cash lying around could buy much better weapons from either the US or Russia or China. If we really did sell some old Davy C stuff to someone for big bucks, maybe that person should be praised for pulling off a great deal. LOL
We've been worried about "suitcase" nukes for decades. Anyone who has nukes (Russia, China, India, Pakistan, Israel, or N. Korea) could pack a nuke into a shipping container and contaminate/shut down the Port of Los Angeles, New York or any number of places. And some of those nations aren't too careful about who they sell their nuke stuff stuff to. Much more dangerous than Davy C missiles that are very small and have limited range.
No need to create new monsters when the old ones are scary enough. 8-<

Hi Fred:
Thanks for the explanation. I don't know much about weapons. I only know it makes me uncomfortable when crazy people get ahold of them. As long as you say they're not that powerful, I guess I don't have to worry as much as I thought.

Deb - the main function of the Davy C weapon was to pop open and spread radiation in a local area. The idea was that when the Soviet tank armies attacked W. Germany, we would radiate small areas where the invasion forces were bottle-necked and that would stop them. But, of course, that would also radiate parts of W. Germany for several generations, so not a good first choice. Yes, crazy folk could use something like that to attack the Super Bowl or some such. So it's not a totally idiotic idea. But there are plenty of chemicals to make small bombs and poison gas in the average home, and those things could set off a panic in the Super Bowl crowd that would kill many more than the weapon itself. Alas, there are many, many cheap ways to create "terror" and disrupt a nation's economy. 8-<

Gematria can be hours of fun for the whole family. If you translate "Donald Trump evil king", it comes out to be 666. 8->

Hi Fred,
I don't pay attention to anyone other than the actual "Q" drops and the rare things that find their way off the chans.
The people on the chans are not inclined to deal with speculation (which is what you get on some of the "Q" related boards.) In fact, the chans appear to be rather unfriendly to anyone they consider not up to par in terms of what they do. There's no welcome mat there, I assure you. But when one of them drops something, it is usually accepted as true.
I don't often look at the chans because navigating them is next to impossible. That is the most confusing system imaginable.
