Recently, there have been many laptop thefts with huge amounts of data
on them. like the VA laptop with like 26 million records.
People just don't realize that laptop thefts can and do happen. and that
the data on it is far more valuable then the laptop itself. Granted
most of the time laptops are stolen just for the hardware itself.
but: Once the laptop is stolen weather or not they access the data or not
it still is huge. people need to take responsibility for not only the data on there laptops
but for the laptops themselfs. people need to be very careful with laptops like:
*never leave unattended
*get a strong 3rd party crypto for data
-->* windows EFS is very weak and easly gotten arround
