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?

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.

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

Worse than that. Last I looked it was AKAL Security. The same people who were in charge of the Murrah Bldg though they called themselves TEG then. See this: http://www.freerepublic.com/forum/a3b3d8e767823.htm . It's just the first of several linked threads about this VERY questionable group.

They have also been accused of being a cult with mind control aspects. They hold fundraisers for Governor Richardson. IMO that makes him the only governor we know of who has his own little private army.

I'm not in any kind of weapons or strategic area, but I've been through a fairly strict security check within the last couple of years. More stringent than my position would normally require. We've got key cards and palm scanners to get in the door. We have cameras spying on our every move. Taped telephones. Multiple firewalls. Plenty of security, one would think.

But the boss, a politician of sorts, loves to bring total strangers on tour through our work area a couple of times a week, we have the ability to record the entire network on CD's or USB drives, we don't shred our "sensitive" documents, and we have unfettered Internet access.

Typical of the government, security is a fancy facade, but like an egg, beneath the shell is a runny mess.
