I’m an old nuke guy, and still go out to the “NTS” occasionally. Every time I’m there, this old dog keeps calling it the Nevada Test Site, and gets corrected by some young DOE weenie: “Sir, it’s now the Nevada National Security Site!” Then I always smack him back...”I know what you call it sonny” and smile. Pisses them off every time.
The guy was in charge of nuclear waste dispostion, a program related to disposing of spent commercial reactor fuel. It’s an imposible job because no one wants it done, and he wasn’t the “guy” for the job, but there is no secret conspiracy here. He was on official travel on a commercial flight for passingly legitimate government business. That he had a thing for stealing suitcases of women’s clothing is a perversion and lawd’s sake the DOE is hardly the model of an efficient govnerment agency, but there is no hush conspiracy here.
