Here's something that should be publicized...

Why not just put out the calling card of "ATTENTION ALL TERRORISTS"...Nuclear Weapons Plant Guards on Strike!. Five hundred guards walked off the job at midnight which means even under the best replacement scenario it's not going to be as secure as it was before. That is the first impression given by the headline and still slightly remains as a concern once the full article is read.

Yes, the official response says it's not a concern:

Energy Department officials said there is no cause for security concerns at Pantex or at other weapons plants that have sent security guards to participate in the contingent force.

"Security and safety are paramount at Pantex, and they will not be compromised regardless of any circumstances," said Bryan Wilkes, spokesman for the Energy Department's National Nuclear Security Administration. "Both safety and security will continue to be consistent with the conditions that existed prior to the guard work stoppage."

What's interesting is what the main reason behind the strike is, and it is one that could have been avoided, with new stringent physical requirements older workers who can not meet these qualifications have no other career path option that is offered to other governmental workers.
