The woman had top secret "Q-clearance" with access to all the U.S. underground nuclear test data. Additionally, she had "Sigma 15" clearance, which allows her access to info on how to deactivate locks on nuclear weapons. Quintana has not been arrested or charged.
Not charged? What is she a dem?

And yet again.....thanks Bill Richardson!
He thinks he's presidential material but he can't even keep the gate locked at Los Alamos....I've lost track of the number of breaches/thefts on his watch!

Doesn't their security check these people? What are they doing with Flash Drives in a secure facility? They are never allowed at all inside of every secure facility I've ever been in.
Why isn't she in lock-up? That's a no-brainer for God's sake!
Who is securing this facility? Mall Cops?

Clinton may have started this lax, to put it mildly, atmosphere of security, but he hasn't been in office in six years.

I think John Kerry has one of those,
he's always going on about being clearly "Q".

Jessica Quintana, 22, who owned the trailer... The woman had top secret "Q-clearance" with access to all the U.S. underground nuclear test data. Additionally, she had "Sigma 15" clearance...
I'm not a security expert or anything, but shouldn't these two statements be mutually exclusive?

It's a Department of Energy clearance level.

I can carry my USB drive into my secure DoD worksite, but it won't work in any of the secret systems. It appears that Info Sec is still a BIG problem at Los Alamos.
I am wondering what kind of work this woman does. She is only 22 which would make you think she would be either a new hire engineer or an IT type.

A "Q Clearance" is a Department of Energy clearance.
I think it is roughly equivalent of a DOD Top Secret, but there are differences.

A quick Google search shows "Sigma 15" is a specific data classification which refers to " ... nuclear weapons use control systems, features, and their components."
So the woman had a Q clearance, which is pretty common for DOE workers, including the IT staff, and also had access to Sigma 15 data, which would be an additional access level.

Before I retired I made a big push to disable USB ports on secure computers. While still on active duty it would of turned ugly if you brought a flash drive into a SCIF. That was and still is a serious no-no.
I figure the DOE needs some lessons from the DOD on securing a facility. A lock down with 100% inspection would be a good start.

I think mall cops would do a better job than this.
