thewayneIt is a system where you can pay money to be investigated and get a pass to let you skip the inspection lines at airports. You submit fingerprints, the FBI does checks, etc. 33,000 people have enrolled.
Well, a couple of weeks ago a laptop that contained the detailed information of everyone who has signed up for the program was stolen from a locked office at San Francisco airport. The server that the data is stored upon is encrypted.
The laptop wasn't.
But everything is OK -- the laptop was found again! In the same office that it was stolen from. In a different place in the office. Behind a locked door.
But don't worry -- "they" have determined that the data was not accessed.
The same people who didn't encrypt the laptop? And we're supposed to take their word that someone who can go into a secure area, through locked doors, and steal a laptop, and then replace a laptop in the same office, again, through locked doors and in a secure area, can't remove the drive from the laptop and clone it?
