13 and counting

13 is how many times that the Energy Department has had problems finding all of their computers. In the latest gaffe the department could not find 20 laptops, 14 of which had classified information. On the other hand, the department was using some computers that were not listed in their inventory.

The problem is that the computers are in the Office of Intelligence and Counterintelligence, which is responsible for protecting the department's data from spies. Some of this data involves nuclear weapons information.

Will there be a fourteenth time?

Strange the report says nothing about data encryption. That's SOP these days.
