This is just wonderful...anyone catch CNN?

Over 500 laptops lost or stolen from IRS over the last three years - contained sensitive information that was NOT encrypted or encoded!!! And they worry about us!!

I have to ask: You knew and didn't tell anyone?

...Are you in mourning, Brenda? Billy Gillispie announced earlier today he's leaving A&M for the Kentucky head coaching job.

Re: Hopefully the one that included.....

Makes me furious. I bought a simple program for my son's laptop when he went away to college. If its ever lost or stolen, it can be tracked in a heartbeat. Government can waste millions and zillions of dollars on stupid stuff but can't protect us or itself.

I've read about that software, LJ

The government unfortunately seems much more interested in how much personal information it can gather and store on citizens than in protecting that information from theft. I don't have a laptop but would definitely invest in the type of software you got if I ever get one.
