Not Again! Yes, Again

http://www.networkworld.com/news/2007/051507-ibm-contractor-loses-employee.html

The link tells the story. Again. Someone. Lost. Critical. Data.
This time the information was unencrypted on some tapes - which makes retrieval a snap for those with the right tools. I think the govt should really step in immediately and pass legislation that would make encryption of all employee-related data mandatory, especially if such data were being physically transported.

I'm going to stop here.

Be safe!
