Commerce Deptartment lost 1,100 laptops in five years

The Commerce Department has lost more than 1,100 laptop computers since 2001, most of them assigned to the Census Bureau, officials said Thursday night. I'm hoping that they also fired 1,100 people that lost laptops in five years!

The Census Bureau, the main collector of information about Americans, lost 672 computers. Of those, 246 contained some personal data, the department said in a statement. However, no data from any missing computer has been known to have been improperly used, the department said. ?All of the equipment that was lost or stolen contained protections to prevent a breach of personal information,? said Commerce Secretary Carlos M. Gutierrez.
