Similar in concept IMO to the conversion of cruise missles from a nuclear to conventional weapons.

I thought I heard something about some SLBM's being converted as well. A MIRVed trident with 20 conventional warheads, each capable of being placed within a few feet and without a possible risk to a US serviceman wouls appear to be a weapon to be reckoned with.

I would have a concern about some hair trigger Russian detecting a conventional ICBM launch againts a terrorist target and making a tragicially incorrect response. How can such a thing be avoided?
