| What was becoming a major crisis is now over, | | | | with over 100 names of individuals with |
| as Veterans Administration gets the Laptop | | | | social security numbers, drivers licenses |
| back, which had Personal Information on it of | | | | numbers, names and addresses on it, as well |
| over 26 million veterans. Luckily the stolen | | | | as personal financial records.My Gosh this is |
| laptop was recovered, but may I ask why the | | | | the very agency required to help protect the |
| government has this information in the first | | | | American People from Identity Thieves, but |
| place on portable laptops?And it is not just | | | | cannot even protect them selves. How utterly |
| the Veterans Administration it is all sorts | | | | pathetic, you have to be kidding me, after |
| of other agencies too. Identity Theft is | | | | all that hoopla and press releases and public |
| running ramped and the government is to | | | | relations campaigns and they themselves fail |
| protect the American People, yet if you look | | | | to protect their own team at the Federal |
| at the situation it is the government who is | | | | Trade Commission?Folks we need a complete |
| messing up the most.In fact the Identity | | | | over haul of bureaucratic BS in Washington |
| Theft laws are to be enforced on businesses | | | | DC. The problems with Identity Theft are the |
| by the Federal Trade Commission, but the | | | | governments fault, how can we trust them to |
| Federal Trade Commission lost two laptops | | | | protect us? Consider this in 2006. |
