As if that kind of information isn't readily available all over the place.

Missing weapons-grade uranium is much worse than missing plutonium, by the way (design of a uranium bomb is ridiculously simple compared to plutonium bomb). Though I note that the article is a bit unclear on specifics. It says that the uranium is "weapons usable" but not its actual purity (percentage of U-235).

I can't think of any famous physicist born in Texas. You may just have demonstrated why.

I don't get how two Massachusetts-born gunsmiths have anything to do with Texas or physics.
