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.

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.

When I go into secure spaces, I have to leave cell phones, USB drives, PDA and anything else that could be use to collect or transmit data outside the space. CDROMs that come in the door go straight to the security officer for a virus scan and get labeled as classified. It's always a one way trip. Paper leaves via the shredder and burn bag. Disk drives get disassembled and the platters dissolved in acid.
