Well I certainly read something interesting on CNN today. It seems the Federal Bureau of Incompetence (I mean Investigation) has had 160 laptops lost or stolen over a 44 month period (ending in September 2005). In addition, the same number of weapons have also gone missing. But hey ... that's great news!!! Why? Well because the FBI is getting way better. In an audit conducted in 2002, the FBI lost more than 300 laptops and 300 weapons in the preceding 28 month period. Instills confidence doesn't it?
Anyway, of the 160 missing in the most recent count, at least 10 of them contain classified information (I think one of them contained the whereabouts of the 300 that went missing before). One actually did contain information on the identities of FBI personnel and several may also contain sensitive counterterrorism information.
The report also indicated that the FBI could not determine whether 51 lost laptops contained sensitive or classified information. Some of them were assigned to the aptly named "counterintelligence" (kinda sounds like the opposite of intelligence to me) division. In any event, it seems one of the problems here is that it's seemingly difficult to encounterintelligence (sorry; I couldn't resist) within the FBI.
