Am calling my financial adviser now to divest in anything holding BofA, redirecting to plastic.

Schumer said baggage handlers......get a grip! This stuff would probably be transfered via corporate jet with security.

Thanks for the ping, Calpernia. Just love a mystery.

Thanks for the ping!

Bank of America said Friday it lost computer tapes containing account information on 1.2 million federal employee credit cards, among them those of U.S. senators, potentially exposing them to theft or hacking.

B of A incomptence ping. I'm sure this ties in with the Bush admin and their open borders policy. Perhaps, they are looking to pass these CC numbers on to Vincente's immigrantinos... "Hey amigo, I'm new in town, but I got a B of A Card, #########1234, please sell me some achracito an alizxxio." See that?

Now we know why the Senate is holding hearings on identity theft.

This is much deeper than what it seems.

I've always said the weakest links in airline security are the baggage handlers and the folks who clean and supply aircraft including the caterers who provide meals, etc.

I hope to heaven this theft sets off a serious security breach alarm at the highest level! Can you imagine what terrorists might do with that kind of information concerning Pentagon personnel, Senators, etc.? This ought to have the feds crapping their chaps.
