   You want scary? It's not fictional. In 1985 the Soviet Union activated   
   what they called the "Perimeter System" aka "Dead Hand", which once   
   activated would look for signs of a nuclear strike on the "homeland",   
   and if the algorithm decided they had been attacked, would launch every   
   icbm in the arsenal, all pre-targeted. Still operational under the   
   Russian Federation.
