10 Missing Disks Prompt Los Alamos to Halt Some Work

By Rebecca Trounson, Times Staff Writer

University of California officials on Tuesday ordered an immediate halt to some computer operations at Los Alamos National Laboratory after the nuclear weapons design lab said it had lost track of 10 computer disks marked "classified."

UC and laboratory officials said the missing disks may have been destroyed, as the lab intended, but without being properly logged. They said an initial review had indicated no threat to national security, although the federal government was expected to investigate.

So what's new. Every month or so another massive security breach is discovered at this place. The whole crew here should be fired and we should start over.

Yup. They are very arrogant, too. I have to deal with these clowns professionally from time to time. Most of them couldn't pour water out of a boot with the directions written on the heel.

UC got in trouble once for their slack policies. They really need to be taken to task, possible barred from the facility. If Los Alamos is like the UC my kid attends, it is full of communists who hate America.
