Crack nukes? I don't know. Whatever it is, it's really scary.

Drug raid yields Los Alamos documents

A drug bust at a trailer park in New Mexico turned up what appeared to be classified documents taken from the Los Alamos nuclear weapons laboratory, authorities said Tuesday.

I'm one of the most relaxed people you'll meet as far as security goes, I forget to lock my doors, I leave my purse all over town, etc. But I've never had any important documents taken from me. Are they even TRYING to keep this stuff away from people?

I'd feel better about it if we learned the files were removed by some crackerjack team of international superspies, at least that makes it sound like they were hard to get. But, apparently they were stolen by a meth-head TEMP, of all people. When I worked temp they rarely gave us the keys to the restroom, let alone allowing us access to top secret paperwork.

And if someone's going to steal something, why abscond with nuclear weapons plans? I mean, unless you've got a good source of plutonium, what are you really going to do with them anyway? I think I'd have taken the documents pertaining to the UFO crash in Roswell or something. At least then I could make a living as a guest speaker at Sci Fi conventions...
