For a non-laughing matter, how about this post to David Farber's IP maillist:
This is just Strangelovesque....
What was the password which controlled the firing of America's ICBMs for years during the height of the Cold War?
00000000
That's right. For *all* of them. The Permissive Action Link codes for all of Americas missiles provided less protection than on an average suitcase.
Mr. Chalabi assures me the PAL codes have subsequently been changed. If you have a pen and paper handy, they are now:
11111111
...but should only be used during office hours or in the face of grave and imminent threat. Thank you.
