is this possible?

Afaik it requires a lot more than one person to set off a nuke. The ground crews would have to be in on it for a start: They're not typically armed unless they're actually being flown on a mission where they're cleared to be used. In the chrome-dome days the bomber crew would have to crawl back into the bomb bay to manually arm it. Originally by attaching the warhead, later by removing a metal chain from the center of the plutonium sphere that would stop it imploding properly in the case of accidental detonation.

There are multiple safeties. Nuclear bombs had 5-6 safeties on the bomb itself, which proved crucial on several occasions when the USA accidentally bombed itself.

Arming nuclear missiles require two keys to be turned simultaneously at locations that can't easily be reached by one person. Which is aside from needing to fuel the rockets with takes more people.

A good way to think of it is "What's to keep the pizza delivery guy from delivering 500 free pizzas to himself on one night". Someone needs to take the order, several other people prepare the pizza, the delivery guy picks them, and a whole lot of customers are going to throw red flags in short order if their pizza doesn't arrive.

Spain too! And I think the UK nuked Birmingham once.

Good analogy actually.

Well Hell. My plan is ruined.

It's not like every plane has a nuke on board. They likely don't even load them up very often.

well that was an anticlimax.. predictable kikery.

Very ultra simple answer - nukes don't work.

Bro have you never seen Dr. Strangelove?

They put a safety mechanism on the bomb. Basically, someone has ride down on it like a mechanical bull. Didn't you ever see Dr. Strangelove?

no it isnt. CPUs and similarly 'powerfull' ICs are made in cost-prohibitive "fabs" and since MH370 the ownership of is locked unto that one familly who owns all the money.

it lies with Internet of things microchips. like my cellphone right now could talk to my raspberrypi and no Alpine Linux or Tails USB or TempleOS or even standby would prevent it.

and these systems, as we have seen, all filter back to central localations. this is pervasive computing. when the kindle first was released it had free internet(it might have been a modle after debut) and a unix enviroment and amazon breadboarded and prototyped pervasive IoT softwares with this. the system was used by the CIA and university of ireland i belive helped. long time back.

but that is the problem.

the solution would/could be to isolate from EMR or disrupt any usable transmission with, say, an electronic lighter from amazon rigged to always be on placed next to the mainboard.

another solution that lies far in the future i wanna mention. One day we ought to(society) print ICs at home using a tech that can reach 95nm. thats good enough; the hardware could be vast and optimised for the software. The hardware could be built with the code, for the application. a number of ways could the photolithography be implemented but the idea of using like a lab-on-chip with very flat glass on the top and in/out-lets for gas and liquid exchange for buildingup the layers might work well. and after the chip is made it doesnt have to be removed. the leads/contacts could be builtinto the bottom panel of the labonchip.

what are we to do? advance chemical and photonics to make life better and forgo having computer manufacture that takes Billions? nah

photonics is a great science and i knew a man who died in a plane crash suspicously(to me) who was brillant on the topic
