Isn't this how Lex Luthor was able to blow up half of California creating "Otisville?" Who needs a spy inside of the government when information like this is readily available to the masses?
You are looking at the map of the routes followed by the nuclear trucks—plain-looking, high-tech trailers that travel America's busiest highways carrying nuclear bombs, material for atomic weapons, radioactive metals and nuclear fuel for the US Navy.
All this nuclear material is transported "from a variety of labs, reactors and military bases, to the nation's Pantex bomb-assembly plant in Amarillo, Texas, to the Savannah River facility" by trucks that look like any other from the outside.
Called Armored Tractors (ATs), these 18-wheelers are heavily shielded, continuously tracked, and loaded with security measures. Nothing differentiates them from other commercial trucks save for a few antennas and their special architecture. That and a "US GOVERNMENT" license plate. And the fact that they're loaded with stuff capable of destroying a few cities, for course.
But don't worry. The DoE's Office of Secure Transportation is taking good care that nothing happens to all these nuclear trucks constantly on the move. The fleet is operated by 600 special agents from the Department of Energy with a $250 million a year budget.

This is another Bludhaven incident waiting to happen. This definitely seems like the wrong thing to do broadcasting this information across the internet, especially by … well, us. Since when did national security become this lapse? Things have definitely changed.
