The Pentagon was locked down and partially evacuated on Thursday due to a false alarm by a hazardous materials sensor, two sources familiar told CNN.
Multiple floors and corridors inside the building had been locked down and others were evacuated due to a “hazardous materials incident,” three sources familiar and the local fire department said earlier on Thursday.
The evacuation was triggered when a Pentagon sensor system detected the possible presence of anthrax, according to first responder radio traffic and a source familiar with the incident. But the sensor system was malfunctioning, one of the sources familiar said, causing the false alarm.

Damn, I sure hope there aren’t any important documents in there that area that congress might want to see if the midterms were to flip control of the house and senate.

If the Pentagon doesn't want someone in Congress to see a document, they simply put a large folder labeled "Very Real and Serious UAF Photos Inside" directly on top of the document so that the investigators waste the next two weeks chasing bullshit.
On the flip side, we've got a bunch of Obama/Biden Era Woke Gay Liberals who think smoking inside the building shouldn't be allowed. Under the new Based Administration, hotboxing Ring B is mandatory.

I mean I don't think smoking should be allowed inside any building for the health of everyone in the building much less one with has troves of classified data in formats that can be damaged by smoking. Fire, ash, and the residues are not good for paper or electronics.

Hegseth opened his mouth between swallows of liquor and presidential jizz and the amount of bullshit that came out was so toxic it tripped the air quality sensors.
