If you do, please send me a copy.
If you are that concerned about setting the record straight, do it. Don't shoot the messenger.

Ok, given the time delay in radsafe and the importance of this topic, I am
going to take a deep breath and try to reply.
At no time in the past 60 years could anybody ever get into a top-secret
area at Los Alamos by stepping over a fence. At present, the nation is at
orange alert, and Los Alamos security is extra-ordinarily tight. Nobody can
get into even a minimal security area without passing several roadblocks
guarded by heavily-armed guards backed by armored vehicles, or climbing
several successive 10-foot-high fences topped by razor wire, watched by
guard towers, and illuminated with search lights.
I ask you to post an apology and a retraction to radsafe and to know-nukes
immediately.
