Thanks, Peter. Setting aside the not-so-subtle putdown at the beginning of your response, let me assure you I have read the original article, and just re-read it. So let me rephrase the question this way:
Assuming the provenance of samples' sources and transfer with affidavit is valid, where and how are these now (today) maintained? Under whose custody* and with what annotation and security? In other words, can these same samples be retrieved and re-tested, or its results replicated by independent study? I am assuming the answer is yes. (*I don't wish to be specific or to place such material and documentation in jeopardy.)
I think we are on the same page... If these samples exist in sufficient quantities to allow for the replication of the research by a quasi-judicial-scientiifc process, then there is prima facie open-and-shut cause (and evidence) for an investigation.
I ask this -- aside from general interest in the topic -- as I await a call from the coordinator of the local process for a ballot initiative to determine how I can best invest my time in assistance to that effort. Debate and controversy and attempts at dis- and misinformation fade quickly in the face of absolute assurance that evidence has been safely secured. This makes the futile and covert attempts at shipping the WTC steel to offshore smelters an exercise in futility as well as criminal cover-up.
