That's something to worry about-- someone building a warhead that makes a
soft landing.

In Heinlein's "Starship Troopers", one of the "weapons"
is a device that doesn't blow up; it just screams, "I'm a
thirty-second bomb!  I'm a thirty-second bomb!  29!  28!..."  It's
tossed into a church-like place.
