The yield on the AIR-2 Genie missile was such that at the altitudes it would've been deployed the absolute worse thing that would've happened would have been EMP and a slight increase in background radiation as material from the blast was wind-scattered over many hundreds of miles.
But yeah, the Nike? Holy God. And if the bomber jammed or otherwise spoofed the missile and it just went wandering? Grr. Do half the fucking work of the manned attack that way.
