[QUOTE="Poke78, post: 2216355, member: 4333"] Kinda sorta right -- they're the transports that run between Pantex (near Amarillo) and Oak Ridge National Laboratory in TN. The semis carry the "special weapons" materials while the escorts handle security and comms. All the vehicles are well-armored and well-armed to boot. The actual materials are not proximity sensitive, though. Try passing one of the semis and look back at the cab -- let's just say it's interesting. Back in the 80s and 90s, these ran through OKC on a fairly regular basis, especially after the START treaty eliminated tactical nukes. The ones in EU were all run back through PANTEX to recover the fissile and booster materials. Current traffic volume on these movements is much less than during that time. [/QUOTE]
