Since most thieves are basically lazy and stupid, yes.

“a lab spokesman said. No classified information has been lost, spokesman Kevin Roark said”

and how exactly would they know that ? Were all the computers checked out by the IT dept with the approval that they now can be lost or stolen without a problem for security?

Blame Hazel O'Leary for gutting their security procedures during the Clinton administration.

Until you’ve worked for a government organization that has a dozen different buildings and constant broke hardware, you don’t realize the issues of accountability. Once you get past three hundred computers...the odds of having one hundred accountability is totally lost.

My government boss finally adios to CPU’s and we are going to thin client boxes. At around $300 and no hard drive onboard...its not a security matter anymore. And it doesn’t become personalized anymore when someone moves from office to office every six months (we had huge issues with people demanding to move their hardware from building to building).

The lab was initiating a monthlong inventory to account for every computer, Roark said. The computers were a cybersecurity issue because they may contain personal information like names and addresses, but they did not contain any classified information, he said.

If they're missing, how would he know this for sure?
