New Mexico newspapers ran a recent story about settlement of sexual harassment lawsuit against LANL. Another example of your tax dollars hard at work, or something like that.
Tri-Valley Cares needs to be on this if they aren't already. We need to make sure that NNSA and LLNL does not make good on promises to pursue such stupid ideas as doing Plutonium experiments on NIF. The stupidity arises from the fact that a huge population is placed at risk in the short and long term. Why do this kind of experiment in a heavily populated area? Only a moron would push that kind of imbecile area. Do it somewhere else in the god forsaken hills of Los Alamos. Why should the communities in the Bay Area be subjected to such increased risk just because the lab's NIF has failed twice and is trying the Hail Mary pass of doing an SNM experiment just to justify their existence? Those Laser EoS techniques and the people analyzing the raw data are all just BAD anyways. You know what comes next after they do the experiment. They'll figure out that they need larger samples. More risk for the local population. Stop this imbecilic pursuit. They wan...

"That message (Doyle's) conflicted with the laboratory’s principal work developing nuclear weapons, but the laboratory’s security experts cleared it for publication. Then, after hearing complaints from a Republican staff member of the House Armed Services Committee, more senior laboratory officials opted to classify the article retroactively, dock Doyle’s pay, and cancel his clearances." (News Article)
So they appear to have retroactively decided something was classified and then punished Doyle for something lab security people had previously OK'd for him to publish? He followed the security policy rules and then got clobbered for it?
Amazing! What type of low-life scum do these things at the NNSA labs and why are they allowed to keep THEIR clearances? This story stinks to high heaven! Has the corruption and rot at the top of the NNSA management chain become this evil?

Those are the ones who need to know how to recognize it so they can report it. Most victims are lacking education and awareness about the problem and how to deal with it. The management types who perpetrate it won't benefit from training.
Why does there need to be more to the story? If a woman feels she has been sexually harassed, then she has been. This is minute one of the sex harass training.
Maybe men and women don't deserve to or can handle working together. There should be a Men's LANL and a Women's LANL on separate Mesas.

Sorry, no. A "victim" does not decide whether a crime has been committed. Governments hire professionals to do that. The most a "victim" can do is CLAIM is that she was harassed. That's criminology 101.
BTW, why did you capitalize "mesas"? The tendency to capitalize words inappropriately is a strong indication of lack of education.
Sorry Perry Mason. In sex harass training at LLNL, it's the victim that decides the crime. Go to training. There was a lively discussion when I took the training.
We must first understand that women must be especially protected from unwanted sounds.
BUT IN THE END, THE SEPARATE MESA IDEA MAKES SENSE.
