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.
