Okay, we have to credit Der Spiegel for giving us some numbers on nuclear transports in Germany: 16 000.
If that looks like a lot, the period of time covered is also a lot: 1990 to 2012.
The listing by type indicates we are looking at civilian material, unless the category "other" includes weaponry. Which, from experience, seems very unlikely, and we could not care less.
Germany has been famous for big protests against the trains bringing spent fuel rod waste from the French re-processing facility.
It's photos like this or like in the photo gallery at the bottom of this page that fire up the imagination. The routine transports to the enrichment plant, to the fuel rod plant, to nuclear power plants, they were just that: routine.
Not announced but not hidden away either.
Called "obfuscation through obscurity" in large software packages, called "hiding in plain sight" by other thieves, the strategy is simple and highly effective.
The K-landnews may create a working group to evaluate if this principle can be used in everyday life.
The cats, thanks to their supreme intuition, have been a step ahead of the humans. Having been chased off the dining room table many times, they have taken to hiding when scolded.
Where they hide?
Correct, right on the table.
Through some additional magic, which may or may not involve bending of waves of light, they manage to reduce their "visible mass" by 10 to 20 times. The 20 pound tomcat, once on the table, looks like the one pound kitten he was many years ago.
We will let you know if we find something cool in plain sight.
