LANL Security Breach
Jessica Quintana was arrested in 2006 for sneaking classified documents out of the Los Alamos National Laboratory (LANL). Hired right out of high school, Quintana could not finish her work before the contract deadline and decided to take some of the classified work home; she walked unchallenged into her top secret vault and downloaded information onto a computer flash drive. She also removed 228 pages of classified documents about underground nuclear weapons tests in the 1970s, and took the material home. The case received international attention from the media including a special report by CBS Evening News, a cover story in Newsweek, and news items in European and American newspapers. As soon as Quintana's attorney brokered a plea bargain with the Department of Justice, she pleaded guilty to one misdemeanor count, Quintana received two years of supervised release, and agreed to cooperate fully with FBI investigators.
