From Wired News, Los Alamos Lab Loses More Data

The Los Alamos National Laboratory, the nation’s most important nuclear weapons lab, lost another hard disk drive filled with classified information, once again throwing a spotlight on lab officials who have been trying to re-emerge from years of scandals and mismangement.

The latest episode came to light Thursday, after Los Alamos admitted that, since a Monday inventory check, its custodians hadn’t been able to find a “classified removable electronic media,” or CREM — disks and drives inscribed with the country’s secrets.
