Confirmation the theft PROBABLY occurred at San Francisco International Airport http://www.washingtonpost.com/wp-dyn/content/article/2008/08/04/AR2008080402703.html http://tinyurl.com/6dajvb The Transportation Security Administration suspended Verified Identity Pass from enrolling travelers in its pre-screening program after a laptop computer containing the records of 33,000 people went missing. The company, based in New York, lost possession of the laptop July 26 at San Francisco International Airport. The laptop contained unencrypted pre-enrollment records of individuals, the TSA said in a statement yesterday. [...] AND from the Orlando Sentinel ... http://www.orlandosentinel.com/business/orl-clear0508aug05,0,4458701.story The federal government on Monday barred a registered-traveler service launched three years ago at Orlando International Airport from enrolling new members after an unencrypted company laptop containing personal information for about 33,000 prospective customers was stolen from a locked office. The Transportation Security Administration said it has instructed all airports that contract with Verified Identity Pass Inc. -- which operates the "Clear" program at OIA and nearly 20 other airports across the country -- to suspend enrollment in the service and to secure all unencrypted computers until encryption software is installed. The agency also instructed San Francisco International Airport, where the laptop was lost, to ensure that Verified Identity Pass immediately contacts everyone whose personal information was stored on the missing computer. -------- Original Message -------- Subject: [Dataloss] CA/FL/???: Laptop With Personal Information Stolen At Airport From: lyger <lyger () attrition org> To: dataloss () attrition org Date: 8/5/2008 9:43 AM
