UCLA laptop theft exposes ID info

Even the FEDs loose laptops, lots of them: Look at this story:

"While the FBI has the highest number of laptops within the Justice Department, at 15,077, the top law enforcement agency also led in the number of lost, missing or stolen laptops, with 317 in the audited period between October 1999 and January 2002."

This is the FBI! These guys are suppose to be in charge of security. I wonder if these guys properly encrypt their hard drives.

The Government just loves to shove standards on the public, but they're the worst offenders.
