Everywhere the president of the United States goes, so goes the "nuclear football."
In his book "Breaking Cover," Bill Gulley, a former director of the White House Military Office, wrote: "There are four things in the Football. The Black Book containing the retaliatory options, a book listing classified site locations, a manila folder with eight or ten pages stapled together giving a description of procedures for the Emergency Broadcast System, and a three-by-five-inch card with authentication codes."
Those codes need to match up with the one held by the U.S. Strategic Command (STRATCOM), headquartered at Offutt Air Force Base, Neb., which is responsible for strategic deterrence and reaction to a global strike.
So it raised eyebrows – and fears – when STRATCOM tweeted this: ";l;;gmlxzssaw."
