Food for thought: If the thief had connected up a USB-drive, copied the data from the laptop to his drive, and walked away, no one would have known. If the machine was password protected, they could have booted it via a Ghost/etc boot CD, then copied the data that way. -Max "Note: The views and opinions expressed in this email are strictly those of the page author." ________________________________ From: dataloss-bounces () attrition org [mailto:dataloss-bounces () attrition org] On Behalf Of Chris Walsh Sent: Tuesday, August 05, 2008 9:53 AM To: Henry Brown Cc: dataloss () attrition org Subject: Re: [Dataloss] Laptop stolen at SF Ca Airport with data of 33000travelers Absolutely epic.

Those who sign up get a biometric ID card, which allows them to bypass regular security lines for $128 a year.
