FBI Picks Up Some Novelty Hard Drives
from the just-in-case-they-need-some dept
With all of the security problems in Los Alamos these days, apparently secrecy is no joking matter. The Black Hole Surplus Store and Museum apparently had some hard drives behind the counter with "secret" labels on them. They're not for sale, but are really just there to generate conversation with tourists. The FBI apparently wasn't particularly thrilled with this explanation and have confiscated the hard drive which the owner of the surplus store insists was a joke. Who knows what goes through some people's minds, but does it really seem likely that someone walking out of Los Alamos with classified info is going to hand it over to the local surplus store?

You have to feel sorry for the sad, over-patriotic idiot who reported this to the FBI though....

When realism isn't funny
What about very realistic looking RPG's getting pointed at cars? I was at an art fair today, and one artist had ultra-realistic mannequins, down to the microscopic texture of the skin, and it was fricking creepy. This site gives you an idea:

Don't laugh too hard if kids throw fake concrete blocks at you from highway overpasses, because it's "funny".

Dorpus, don't laugh too hard if people call you an idiot and a troll, because we think it's funny.

True story
When I was in the Army many years ago, I worked part time at a computer store where all the other employees were also in the military.
One of my co-workers was a Navy Master Chief who worked at the Naval Research Labs near Washington D.C.
We primarily sold Commodore 64 and Amiga items, and there was a very nifty space trivia game called The Haley's Project, and the manual for the game was made to look like a government document covered with plenty of [TOP SECRET!] rubber stamp markings.
One of my co-worker's military co-workers asked him to obtain a copy of this game for him and to bring it to him at work.
Last I heard, he had to smuggle the game manual out in his underwear because the guards wouldn't let him remove documents stamped [TOP SECRET!] even though they obviously weren't important government doucments...
