6. Certain of our sample sizes are greater than the universe listed for that location.  This can be attributed to the following:  centralized purchasing of experimental weapons at the Central Office that were distributed to other locations; purchases of laptop computers at the USP Lewisburg after the inventory database was provided by the BOP that we subsequently traced to the SPMS; and reclassification of laptop computers at the FCI Texarkana that had been previously misclassified as desktop computers.
7. Walk-through testing at the USP Lewisburg also included testing of weapons and laptop computers assigned to the SORT team.
