WASHINGTON - A drug raid on a Los Alamos scientist's home in New Mexico turned up what appeared to be classified documents taken from the nuclear weapons lab, the FBI said Tuesday. Police discovered the documents at the scientist's home while making an arrest in a methamphetamine investigation, according to an FBI official in Washington who spoke on condition of anonymity because of the sensitive nature of the case.
The police alerted the FBI to the documents, prompting a federal search of the unidentified female scientist's home. The official would not describe the documents except to say that they appeared to contain classified material.
Asked about the raid, FBI special agent Bill Elwell in Albuquerque, N.M., confirmed that a search warrant was executed on Friday night, but he refused to discuss details.
"We do have an investigation with regard to the matter, but our standard is we do not discuss pending investigations," Elwell said.
A spokesman for the Los Alamos National Laboratory, in Los Alamos, N.M., declined to comment.

Good Lord. This is only our nuclear laboratories.
So ,any liberals to thank, so little time.
Trading classified documents for North Korean meth?
ASSUME THE POSITION ping.
actually, we share it now with the Chinese.
She's a scientist at Los Alamos and they're looking in her house for drugs? Good thing she's a drogero, or they never would have found the documents.
Trading drugs for secrets? That sounds like a plan. Our BIG GOVERNMENT maybe incompetent when it comes to security, but when it comes to PR they will have this story killed in no time.
My, my, my. Lookie here!
"We do have an investigation with regard to the matter, but our standard is we do not discuss pending investigations," Elwell said.
Someone pass the word to jack murtha.
Nice.
Who the hell is watching the store?
Jail time. For a long time.
Just Damn!!!!!!!
Goodness what a surprise. Let me check the calendar.... I sense a divine hand in this news....
Lol. This is the quote of the week here. We dont discuss investigations, but we caught this gal on a meth investigation who had top secret files.
The irony is beautiful.
Having done work at the Labs post-William I can say that all hell is going to break loose with the head guy there. He has a real zero tolerance policy.
WTF?! What kind of trash are we hiring these days to work on our top secret stuff? Or was this a Clinton era hire?
Next thing you know, we'll have congress"men" running male whore houses and playing around with the male pages!
Verrrrry interesting...
Like other posters...I wonder how much we will find out...before this story disappears...
Thanks for the ping..
Lets hope this person gets a "speedy" trial
Oh, well, that figures. Los Alamos is administered by a lefty, weirdo, southern California university, isn't it?
UC is the current funder. The current head hancho at the facilities is an ex-marine and a real stickler for procedure. Getting into S-site is almost impossible.
