quote [ Something must be done. Not just about the flawed warning system in Hawaii, but about a world in which nations are poised to destroy each other with barely a moment's notice. ]
I just read JWWargo's shout, and found this. I live right outside DC. If i get this message, I'm going outside to sit in my garden.

This is not...a good arguement.
Our first ICBMs which could launch to space and re-enter as directed ran on hardware that your current cellphone would out compete. And yes, we have in fact put satellites into space running Android on cellphone processors openly available on the free market.
Beyond that, you don't need the electronics to survive entirely. Point, shoot, and only the firing mechanism for collapsing the nuclear material have to survive.
The question is only if their warhead is light enough for their rocket to carry to space or not.
How is this at all a point?
Now, there is a point

Maybe a barometer if you plan to have it go off at a certain height rather than in atmo... which still going to devastate a huge area and also give a nice EMP shock across a huge range.
