Forget drilling: Dig!

U.S. Can’t Track Tons of Weapons-Grade Uranium, Plutonium | Danger Room | Wired.com

But according to a report from the Government Accountability Office (GAO), issued late last Friday afternoon to little fanfare, thousands of pounds of highly-enriched uranium and separated plutonium remain. American officials may never get a chance to ensure its security.

That’s because the U.S. can’t track or fully account for 5,900 pounds of “weapons usable” nuclear material that it once shipped overseas.

But wait, let's ask Ron Paul. The free markets will take care of this, right? Anyway, we knew the risks...

OK, forget digging. Just don't get sick. You might get Ron Paul for a doctor.
