“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?

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).
