From the Huffington Post Why Workplace Jargon Is A Big Problem http://www.huffingtonpost.com/2014/04/25/work-words_n_5159868.html?utm_hp_ref=business&ir=Business When we replace a specific task with a vague expression, we grant the task more magnitude than it deserves.

A fog of fast and empty language has seeped into the workplace. I say it's time we air it out, making room for simple, concrete words, and, therefore, more deliberate actions.

It is only a liability where someone could get hurt or there could be a security violation. Unless it fits into the bonus what is the value of having this work at the lab? Sure it could be useful for the nation and valuable work can be done but that is not the concern of LANS. Write it into the contract for a PBI and than we can talk, other than that get rid of it. To LANS LANL is about profit nothing more nothing less.
