Oops!
Plague-infected lab mice missing in New Jersey
"...the rodents may have been stolen, eaten by other lab animals or just misplaced in a paperwork error..." (from the Associated Press article linked to above)
Richard Ebright, a Rutgers University microbiologist had this to say, "You have more security at a McDonald's than at some of these facilities..."
Somehow, that just doesn't make me feel any better about the incident.
