http://www.mercurynews.com/nationworld/ci_10105205 Laptop with security applicants' data is found By MARCUS WOHLSEN Associated Press Writer Article Launched: 08/05/2008 12:34:41 PM PDT SAN FRANCISCO-The company that runs an airport security prescreening program said Tuesday they've found a laptop containing the personal information of 33,000 people more than a week after it apparently went missing. The Transportation Security Administration suspended new enrollments to the program, known as Clear, after the unencrypted computer was reported stolen. Officials with Verified Identity Pass, which operates the Clear program, said the laptop was found Tuesday morning in the same office where it supposedly had gone missing. The program allows passengers to pay to use special "fast lanes" to avoid long lines at airport security checkpoints. The laptop contained the personal information of applicants to the program. -----Original Message----- From: dataloss-bounces () attrition org [mailto:dataloss-bounces () attrition org] On Behalf Of lyger Sent: Tuesday, August 05, 2008 11:54 AM To: Henry Brown Cc: dataloss () attrition org Subject: Re: [Dataloss] CA/FL/???: Laptop With Personal Information Stolen At Airport (this is why editors have jobs! note the changes between the archive and the current story...) http://attrition.org/pipermail/dataloss/2008-August/002610.html http://www.cfnews13.com/News/Local/2008/8/5/laptop_with_personal_informa tion_stolen_at_airport.html A laptop containing personal information for about 33,000 people was reported stolen in a possible security breach for the Clear Program, which is in use at the Orlando International Airport.
