#2 With their dope cartel contacts, I guess "Pumpkin head" Chavez and imMorales will have the inside track on stealing our nuclear secrets now.

#3 Probably got them off the internet when the US government didn't have as much respect for this kind of stuff. Kind of makes you wonder what's getting put on there today that we're going to regret tomorrow, doesn't it?

#4 In the movie Wall Street, Charlie Sheen gets insider info by buying into an office cleaning business which gives him access to offices after hours. Could it be a meth dealer is not be trusted?

#5 Things are just different in New Mexico. This state also gives driver's licenses to illegal aliens.

#6 I'd imagine this is a LOT more serious in the gov't as a whole, than just Los Alamos. There are numerous contractors in the Fed building where I work doing cleaning, facility repairs, etc. after hours. No telling how many documents they could steal (very easily). All to the lowest bidder, too.

#7 Los Alamos [LA] is welfare for the intellectually gifted. There are other national laboratories out there, Sandia, Lawrence Livermore, Oak Ridge, et al. They were originally intended to support DoD but not tied to its ridged civil servant pay scales, so the operations were outsourced to universities. Since the 80s you saw your military as with the Army downsized from over a million men to under a half-million men. However, the pork of the National Labs have kept them doing busy work to sustain money flowing into their respective states and cities. LA has had a number of personnel problems largely driven by the were above it all attitude of its population. Mishandling of classified documents, Hollywood bookkeeping, dont rock the boat management, etc. Most of the work could be moved to other National Labs leaving LA to its other function as a hot storage site till the facility in Nevada is completed. It would kill the local economy, but that is not the legal defined mission of the laboratory. It would make a nice attitude adjustment for the other labs as well.

#8 As well as pi$$ing off a bunch of brilliant scientist into doing something stoopid.

#10 With the expertise and chemical inventory they have there, I'm surprised they had to go to an outside source.
