“The
Royal Navy has launched an investigation into whistleblower William
McNeilly, who exposed horrid security lapses in UK’s trident
nuclear program which make it easier for intruders to access some
secured areas than enter 'most nightclubs.' UK authorities are
'concerned for the whereabouts' of the 25-year old whistleblower, who
went absent without leave and cooperated with WikiLeaks to post a
detailed 18-page report called The Nuclear Secrets. McNeilly, a
weapons engineer, who allegedly served from January to April this
year on board the HMS Victorious, claims that a number of security
lapses and technical faults with the Trident missiles carrier exposes
the UK nuclear deterrent to potential terrorist attacks that 'would
kill our people and destroy our land.'”
“In his
revelations, the whistleblower notes some 30 safety and security
flaws on Trident submarines that are based out of Faslane on the
Clyde, Scotland. McNeilly took his time outlining the ease at which
potential terrorist can infiltrate the secured base.”
“An
intruder could bring inside the secured facility any private
electronic device to potentially steal top secret data – or even
weapons and explosives, since the whistleblower claims, contractors
and their equipment are hardly ever being searched.”
“Besides
the evident security flaws, the weapons technician lists a number of
equipment problems, including a seawater leak, a flooded torpedo
compartment and defective toilets. His revelations include missile
compartment being used as an exercise gym, and the communication
system that was difficult to understand.”
