PhillyKev 0 #4 July 16, 2004 History? Oh, I'm sorry, did we stop terrorism some time in the past and it hasn't happened since? I don't think it's overreacting to be upset that we're bomving other countries because we erroneously think they are seeking nuclear arms and may in the future give them to terrorists, meanwhile we can't secure our own nuclear secrets. Shouldn't homeland security begin at home? Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

When I worked there in the late '80s, all the labs had the same combination on their locks. It was the default code they came out of the box with!...

newsstand 0 #7 July 17, 2004 Hey I used to work at the University of texas and apparently they are bidding to run Los Alamos. The might rename it The Alamo II but what the heck. "Truth is tough.

ltdiver 3 #8 July 17, 2004 Remember when a few computer hard drives went missing from another government laboratory for a few days? (few years ago). I'm not sure if they ever got to the bottom of where they went to, but they eventually showed up. Weird. ltdiver Don't tell me the sky's the limit when there are footprints on the moon Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
PhillyKev 0 #9 July 17, 2004 Yep..... Didn't some fuel rods disappear from a plant in New England a few months ago, too? Anyone know if they ever turned up? How the hell do you misplace shit like this or have such lax security at these locations to allow stuff to go missing? It's amazing. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
BartsDaddy 4 #10 July 17, 2004 The fuel rods turned up in there containment pool. On the third or fourth search of the pool Handguns are only used to fight your way to a good rifle Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

PhillyKev 0 #12 July 19, 2004 I flew a couple weeks ago. Had dinner before the flight. Nice piece of chicken breast. It was grilled so a little tough on the outside. Used my steak knife to cut it. This was in the terminal AFTER going through security. Nothing has changed. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

How the hell do you misplace shit like this or have such lax security at these locations to allow stuff to go missing? It's amazing. I worked at Los Alamos for several summers some 10 years ago. They invited quite a few university faculty and graduate students out there each summer. I can only speak for the part I worked in, but by and large the researchers there had the mentality of "this is just like a university campus and I am just like a professor", which carried over to a general attitude of openness typical of a university. And which is probably quite inappropriate for a nuclear weapons lab.... The only sure way to survive a canopy collision is not to have one. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
