Lost at Los Alamos
The Los Alamos National Laboratory has a reputation for losing things. Incidents took place in 2000, 2002, and 2003. But things were even more serious in 2004.
In an announcement last Friday, the lab confirmed that “two items of Classified Removable Electronic Media (CREM) were discovered missing from the Weapons Physics Directorate” inside the lab on July 7 during a special inventory being done for an upcoming experiment. The two disks didn’t turn up in several searches, which are continuing, according to the lab. – Todd R. Weiss
Or were they?
The confusion, it turns out, was created by inventory bar codes produced for computer disks that have never been written, a department official told AFP on condition of anonymity. – Sci-Tech Today
Perhaps they should hire a librarian.
