It's Wednesday. Do You Know Where Your Laptop Is?

In today's laptop theft news, the Transportation Department inspector general's office reports that a computer containing "personally identifiable information of some Florida residents" was taken from a government vehicle in Miami.

By the way, VA Secretary James Nicholson's job appears to be safe for now, despite yesterday's call from Senate Minority Leader Harry Reid, D-Nev., for Nicholson to quit in the wake of revelations of yet another VA data theft. Senate Veterans Affairs Committee Chairman Larry Craig, R-Idaho, issued a statement today saying that unless Nicholson walks off with a VA laptop himself, he shouldn't be forced out. "A computer was stolen from a private contractor's highly secured office building," Craig said. "I am fairly confident that Jim Nicholson did not break in and steal that computer. A criminal did."
