The Five-Oh in New Mexico recently busted a meth dealer. Normal COPS-TV fare. After searching duder's place, they found a few USB-drives filled with classified files from LANL. They say that a LANL subcontractor also lived there, which makes sense, as the dealer said that he traded drugs for the files. Obviously, people are tight lipped about exactly what they files were, but I'm sure they were not huge secrecy concerns. It's also not interesting to note that someone associated with a National Lab does drugs. Let's be honest, sub-contractors can be anyone.
What I find interesting, is that a subcontractor got access to, and was able to put them onto a USB-drive. Why? For some meth?
Who knows.
Either way, LANL needs to really look at their security. I find all of their 'classified' work to be not in the spirit of real science, and shouldn't be masquerading as that. Here's the article from Nature.
