This is insane. Cant there be someone who is careful. The Border security info can be used against them to leave in immigrants who are not supposed to enter this.

[snip] A computer hard drive containing Social Security numbers and other personal information on nearly 1,300 California National Guard troops deployed to the U.S.-Mexico border has apparently been stolen.

It contains home addresses, birth dates and other identifying information for all soldiers serving long-term assignments on the border. The Guard notified the soldiers Feb. 28 that their information had been compromised. It advised them to begin checking credit statements and take other protective measures. The Guard has turned the investigation over to the Navy's Criminal Investigative Division, Siepmann said.
