"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.""
