Typical government job -- do something no one wants you to do and watch it blow up.

Yeah, but I bet they weren't told they couldn't build a lab. This is just a training issue.

Applause to the article's author. That certainly was a most refreshing style of journalism.

The beef stew did that once in my Jr. High cafeteria.

This is your government on drugs.[Explains a lot.] Any questions?

Kudos to LeDud!
NIST is already reorganizing. To be sure this incident does not repeat itself, the government is also reorganizing FDA, NIH, NPS, NASA, and GSA.

If a meth lab is not suitable for a 'special projects lab' I don't know what is...

"The fact that this explosion took place at a taxpayer-funded NIST facility, potentially endangering NIST employees, is of great concern,"
The real concern is that the IRS wasn't getting any of the action.
