Let us speculate: if any Fortune 1000 company allowed their employees to lose a few laptops a month, I would be shocked. The corporation would enact harsh measures to ensure greater laptop safety, would fire employees, fire the CIO, do whatever it took to stem the loss.
Remember when the phrase Our First MBA President was all the rage? or the (now laughable) Adults in Charge?
Ha.
What's worse is these laptops probably contain top secret data, compromising photos of John Kerry and/or Al Gore, and who knows what else, but the FBI doesn't remember.
Wired: AP Missing FBI Laptops Still a Problem
Three or four FBI laptop computers are lost or stolen each month and the agency is unable to say in many instances whether information on the machines is sensitive or classified, the Justice Department's inspector general said Monday. ... “Perhaps most troubling, the FBI could not determine in many cases whether the lost or stolen laptop computers contained sensitive or classified information,” said the Justice Department IG's stated. “Such information may include case information, personal identifying information or classified information on FBI operations.”Of the 160 laptops lost or stolen over a 44-month period, 10 contained sensitive or classified information. The bureau did not have records on whether 51 others contained such data.
