With exactly the same reading...Laurenzi has fired back, going through the step-by-step process of something he's done over 600 other times... and he ain't quiet about it...Here's Henry Rosoff in the newsroom...So, the HQ thinks it knows who went through six different seals to get to the sample...Hans, boobie...
