Once again, those in charge of protecting our security are proven to be the least capable of doing so. I hope that this laptop is found soon. I also hope that the FBI did a thorough search on those people who were in training, as well as the hotel employees.

You can grab one of these for about $45 bucks. Of course you do need to make sure it is armed/installed when you are going to be away from your laptop 'for just a few seconds.'

Sept 2003 story about a laptop with sensitive maritime info stolen from the Aussies.

The article also refers to theft of other laptops with sensitive info about Australian Customs. They were stolen from Sydney airport.

Australian authorities believe that it may be terrorists trying to get info to help with operations and/or smuggling materials for operations. In one of the thefts an electronic swipe card was used.
