>As for finding nukes, that's easy.  Warheads aren't  
shielded because of the weight, so you just point a  
radiation detector at it.

I often get burned when I confront experts but that is a  
rather outrageous statement if taken at face value. 
 
If a warhead is not shielded, wouldn't it represent a  
hazzard for personnel envolved in their handling, storage  
training etc? 
 
I for one, would be very interested in more information on  
the subject.
