Washington -- Los Alamos National Laboratory can't account for nine floppy disks and a large-capacity storage disk that contain classified information, University of California officials said Tuesday, another embarrassing security lapse that jeopardizes UC's 60-year tenure as manager of the nation's top nuclear weapons design lab.

[FairOpinion]

the disks "may have included incidental research and development in weapons."

===

They should fire Univ of CA as manager of this high security lab. I can't imagine why were they allowed to manage it this long?!

...We are now standing under the Terrorist Threat of attacks from the same U.S. small Suitcase NUKE Technology that turned up missing after the CLINTON Administration Fires around the Los Alamos Labs...

...and now we suddenly have an anouncement diverting us from this reality..?

I don't buy it.

Why in the hell would America trust its secrets with the university of kalifornia??? Everybody knows that they are commies and would love to send our nuclear secrets abroad.
Stupid is as stupid does. Dump ucla, find a decent contractor that can be trusted.

"You can put in administrative controls, you can put in physical controls, you can put in technological controls, but at the end of the day you are talking about human beings,"

Maybe it's time to scrap the entire crew and put NEW, SECURITY minded people in place. That 'human frailty' could cost us all our lives.

"They should fire Univ of CA as manager of this high security lab."

Why? Hitlery and her "crew" are still in power, and there's no way to stop them, since we apparently don't have the stomach for it (as it would require beheading or hanging of certain treasonist individuals and their accomplices!"). But then again, I'm just a conspiracy theorist (and dreading the one world order - gee - it's been proven how unrealistic that fear is, hasn't it!?), one of those that our god Rush ridicules, reading and believing such books as "None Dare Call it Conspiracy" or "None Dare Call it Treason." Who would have thought how on the mark those books would end up being? Or, for that matter, the book of DANIEL!

"The researcher who used the disk said it contained a briefing he created five years ago that was not classified"

Oh, so that's all right then. He said. Dumb as a brick or cya mode?

"but because it was prepared on a classified computer, it had to be labeled as secret."

And why, boys and girls, are disks prepared on classified computers themselves classified? Because you can transfer anything to like on to one of them, and then delete the file to hide it, without it actually being erased yet, and then take the disk out of the lab, and recover the file afterward. Meanwhile if anybody stops you, do can point to the only readable files on the disk, all unclassified.

"The researcher remembered ordering that the disk be destroyed, but there was no record of the destruction."

That would prevent any use of it for transport of files illicitly, if it were destroyed, but if it wasn't destroyed then it just means it could have been used to transport files illicitly, and nobody would have any record of it - except that a classified disk was missing. Which we have. Joy.

There is a reason for chain of custody protection of classified information. Saying, "but this bit and that file aren't important" is not an excuse to trash those chain of custody protections. Doing so makes what is meant to be airtight into a sieve. Once you've got a sieve on your hands, you have no means whatever to keep it so only "unimportant" stuff leaks through the holes.
