WASHINGTON (AP)

An inventory has found another case of missing data involving nuclear weapons, this time at the Energy Department's regional office in Albuquerque, the department disclosed Thursday.

The Energy Department said that an "accounting discrepancy" involving three copies of a "controlled removable electronic media" — or CREM — was found at the regional office as part of the nationwide inventory of such devices. ..

Bryan Wilkes, an NNSA spokesman, said that the inventory discovered three copies of a single CREM unaccounted for. He declined to elaborate further except to say the device contained information involving nuclear weapons. ..

4. Look around for a minority fall-guy.

DOE is one huge privatized clusterfuck, a paper blizzard covering up profiteering on a grand scale. Waste, fraud, and abuse are covered up daily. But don't look behnd that curtain or they'll play the nuclear security card. (Never mind that more nuclear 'secrets' are peddled by private companies than by any poor lab rat.)
