   ....[1]knowing about this.

     The Transportation Security Administration offered employees
     $25,000 in identity-theft insurance on Monday, after an external
     hard drive containing employment information on the workers went
     missing from an office last week.
     The data includes names, Social Security numbers, dates of birth,
     and payroll information such as bank account and routing
     information of workers employed at the TSA from January 2002 until
     August 2005. In a letter to federal employees, TSA Administrator
     Kip Hawley apologized for the loss of the hard drive but stressed
     that the fate of the storage device is still currently unknown.
     "During the weekend, extensive interviews were conducted as part of
     the continuing investigation for the missing hard drive," the TSA
     said in statement. "The U.S. Secret Service has been actively
     working with TSA since Friday morning, including gathering forensic
     evidence."

   Isn't it nice to know that someone might possibly have all the
   information they need to bribe TSA employees so they can bypass
   airport security? Makes me feel a lot safer. How about you?
