Los Alamos Security Infiltrated By Reporter

morcheeba writes "Wired reported Noah Shachtman gives a first-hand account of his entry into a high-security area at Los Alamos National Laboratory. Yes, there are pictures. It seems that the birthplace of the atom bomb is being guarded by string, backed up by guards with empty holsters. There's a little more info on Noah's Defense Tech website."

Great!

Now he should be shot.

Don't freak out

Guys, don't worry about the lax security at our nation's national labs. The Patriot II Act will protect us. Nothing to see here. Go back to your business.

I knew it!

It is official; Netcraft now confirms: Los Alamos is dying.

One more crippling bombshell hit the already beleaguered Los Alamos community when Wired confirmed that Los Alamos seurity was breached yet again, now this time by a reporter with a camera. It's obvious: Los Alamos is collapsing in complete disarray, as fittingly exemplified by failing dead last in the recent Cold War Nuclear Security Test.

You don't need to be a Kreskin to predict Los Alamos's future. The hand writing is on the wall: Los Alamos faces a bleak future. In fact there won't be any future at all for Los Alamos because Los Alamos is dying. Things are looking very bad for Los Alamos. As many of us are already aware, Los Alamos continues to lose security guards. They have no money. Red ink flows like a river of blood.

There can no longer be any doubt: Los Alamos is dying.

Let's keep to the facts and look at the numbers.

In its heyday, Los Alamos has thousands of security people. How many are there today? Let's see, perhaps 50 at best and they are armed with empty holsters and a strand of string protects the facility. This falls in line with the number of Usenet posts regarding Los Alamos.

Due to the financial troubles of the US government and the pending war with Iraq Los Alamos is virutally dead, its corpse to turned over to yet another charnel house.

All major surveys show that Los Alamos has steadily declined in security. Los Alamos is very sick and its long term survival prospects are very dim. If Los Alamos is to survive at all it will be among nuclear dilettante dabblers and security hangers-on. Los Alamos continues to decay. Nothing short of a miracle could save it at this point in time. For all practical purposes, Los Alamos is dead.

Fact: Los Alamos is dying

i think,

having a white/black skin helped him.
Had he been olive skinned ? Now that's a different story.
