"The United States' primary nuclear weapons testing lab is again involved in an 
embarrassing security gaffe.
Watchdog group POGO reveals that the Los Alamos National Laboratory in New 
Mexico has lost 13 computers in 12 months and that 67 other computers are 
currently missing.

The Los Alamos National Laboratory in New Mexico—the United States' primary 
nuclear weapons testing lab—
is under fire again for lax security practices following the theft of three 
computers from the home of a Los Alamos employee.
In the last 12 months, 13 computers have been stolen or lost and the lab 
reports that 67 other computers are currently missing."

The report itself has very serious details:
"POGO is also concerned that the memo does not mention a LANL BlackBerry that 
was recently lost in a "sensitive foreign country.""
