If we have mobile ICBM platforms, you are welcome to post a photo. Meanwhile, their operational launch sites have been fixed silos and their test launch sites have also been fixed silos (or in some cases surface launch mounts). The problem is that you don't know what you are talking about. Every missile or launch vehicle that goes up has a command destruct system that is activated if it goes outside the launch corridor. Lots of lessons learned in the 50s.
A Trident missile is called an SLBM, not an ICBM. You have to learn your birds. Our ICBMs are not mobile.
Actually, I worked at a company that built ICBMs.
It is not risky when the risk elements have been attended to (no warhead, instant destruction if the flight deviates from spec, launch control from a distant bunker). But everybody has to do their part (stay out of the downrange). Driving down the freeway at 60 mph is risky, but nobody seems to mind. Your opinion is uninformed by 60 years of safe operations.

It’s called a SUBMARINE....they move...they are MOBILE.
The problem is...you must work at the DMV.
I had an opinion, that it was and is, risky to do it so close to a city.....if the government or some dude on the internet doesn’t agree....oh well.
