What should be done if the aft end bomb seating surface moves with the TDD during removal?

When the aft end bomb seating surface moves with the TDD (Tactical Deployment Device) during removal, it is critical to stop handling and inspect for explosive leakage. This response is necessary because any movement of explosive components can indicate a potential safety hazard, such as a dislodged or improperly seated explosive. By stopping to inspect, you can assess the situation more thoroughly and ensure that there is no risk of explosive leakage, which could pose a significant danger to personnel and the surrounding environment. Addressing any potential safety issues promptly is essential in ensuring the safety of all involved and maintaining the integrity of the munitions. Taking quick action to inspect rather than continuing to handle the device reduces the risk of accidents and maintains safety protocols.
