Move along, nothing to see here.

Do you think they’ve tightened up security yet? Wonder how many were lost during the eight years of the Bush administration?

Maybe they could get some officials at the Lower Merion School District to turn on the webcams and help locate them.

I’m trying to imagine the expression on some poor clown’s face after he sells the hard drives to Al Qaeda, then looks on as they download a list of anti-abortionists and Ron Paul voters.

A couple of years ago, the social security gang put on line everyone’s ssn. Just as a public service I guess. Shortly after there was a huge spike in identy theft. Hmmm.
And we are supposed to trust these flunkies?

It seems many take them home and keep them for personal use. It’s viewed as a perk or freebie. These laptops are (probably) very nice ones. Not $600 HPs that the peasants use
