EXCLUSIVE: Hundreds of files — with social security numbers, bank account numbers and other sensitive U.S. government information — were found in a filing cabinet purchased from the U.S. consulate in Jerusalem through a local auction.
"We couldn't believe what we found," said Paula, who purchased the cabinets and asked that her last name not be published.

The head of security at the U.S. consulate approached Paula asking for the documents to be returned. When she refused to turn them in the consulate asked Israeli police to intervene. After she was threatened with criminal charges, she returned the files, but not before FOX News had a thorough look at them.

Unreal.

The State Department is being run by someone who has problems with files.

Israel has yet another enemy.
The 0bama Administration, with help from the Hillary State Department.
Can the Apocalypse be far behind?

State has pretty much banned laptops for the same reason. Now they can ban filing cabinets, too.

When did the State Department sell this file cabinet?

You missed the worst part of the article:
Paula, an Israeli who also holds U.S. citizenship, says she wanted to expose the incident because her loyalty is to the state of Israel.
It is now the responsibility of FOX News to disclose Paula's full name to the State department so that her US Citizenship can be revoked, and there will be one less vote for Zero in 2012!!

I saw that ... her son is in the Israeli Army,
so I can’t come down on her as a criminal.
Just pray no one in her family, network or
the Israeli’s released the sensitive info of
our troops, embassy staff or banking/classified
details.
The way our govt employees handle sensitive info
is terrifying.

It depends... Many are just everyday folks, but it seems like the worst kinds gravitate into positions where they can do the most harm...
