Unless your fighting your lab to lock an unlocked cabinet I would answer common sense. Plenty of classmates of mine store glassware from lab and made "bongs" out of them. Not the smartest move considering the unknowns that once occupied that glassware. Imagine now a "rocket scientist" who gains access to the cabinet and thinks he is going to be the next tim leary. I would think that investing $5 on a good lock would just be good sense...law or not. -Andrew On Tue, Feb 9, 2010 at 1:11 PM, Amell, Diane (DLI)wrote: > In a word, no.
