There are two major questions in relation to this incident: the first of course is the contravention of the national security protocols; but the second is, what were nukes being shipped for anyway? Was the US preparing for a pre-emptive nuclear strike somewhere?

The warheads were not supposed to be transported - that was the error.
The missile airframes were being transported for destruction, as that particular type is being phased out of service.
Some moron will be along shortly to tell you about some sinister plot behind this, I am sure.
But the truth is this was simply a major error.
