...definitely know that among my throwing group, we’ve been pushing each other a lot more recently because we all know that this is an important meet,” said sophomore thrower Neville Irani. “It’s an extra drive to work harder.

The practice of inserting thumb drives was specifically forbidden by then DOE secretary Bill Richardson in 1999, but was apparently not uncommon at Los Alamos. Using thumb drives, and at least one wireless (WIFI) device that was improperly in the secure area, it would have been possible...
