Thanks Charles, in honesty, that's the only thing they brought up that 
worried me, the rest is just nonsense, and not worthy of reporting on.

Each Dewar has a gauge mounted on it, displaying the level of liquid inside.
My guess is that the uninformed visitor saw two of the gauges with their
needles in the red zone, and assumed correctly that this indicated a lack of
liquid inside the Dewars. If he had asked why, we could have told him that
those two Dewars are empty and are being held in reserve, in expectation of
future cryopatients.

So far as I know, Alcor has never experienced any incident in which liquid
nitrogen levels were allowed to fall below normal levels, in Dewars
containing patients, pets, or tissue samples.
