              For Sale: Nuclear Bombs and other Atomic Ordnance

I had wanted a picture of the U.S. $20 bill. I wanted to scan one (just for
the picture of Andrew Jackson; why I wanted that will have to wait) but since
neither Spring [1] nor I had one, I decided to look for one on the Internet,
so I figured the best place to start would be the U.S. Treasury.

Instead I come across the Defense Reutilization and Marketing Service Public
Sales Listing [2] and imagine my surprise when I see a page selling Nuclear
Ordnance Equipment. [3] Just like that. Nuclear Ordnance Equipment. [4]
Nestled between Weapons and Accessories and Fire Control Equipment.

Um …

So I check three items marked under Nuclear Ordnance Equipment and
fortunately it didn't seem like anything was available. Of course, now my IP
(Internet Protocol) address is associated with checking for the existance of
Nuclear Ordnance Equipment so I guess I can expect a visit by some serious
men in business suits and dark glasses …
