Commerce Dept. loses 1100 laptops



| Reddit | Tumblr | Digg | FARK

Because they care so much about your personal privacy, the Bush Commerce Department has lost 1,100 laptops -- including some with personal census data:

More than 1,100 laptop computers have vanished from the Department of Commerce since 2001, including nearly 250 from the Census Bureau containing such personal information as names, incomes and Social Security numbers, federal officials said yesterday.

This disclosure by the department came in response to a request by the House Committee on Government Reform, which this summer asked 17 federal departments to detail any loss of computers holding sensitive personal information.
The Bush administration is incompetent at every level. How will they blame Clinton for this one?
