Federal Trade Commission Loses Employee Personal Information

Well now I have heard the ultimate of incompetence with the Federal Trade Commission, as yesterday they lost two lap tops filled with personal information and data of 110 employees that work there? How ironic that the agency in charge of SPAM, Phishing and Identity Theft has now jeopardized their own employees? What a pathetic group and this is our government at work? These are the people in charge of Protecting the American people from Identity Theft? Please spare me the political correctness, public relations pieces and fluffy press releases as we all know this in nothing but shear incompetence. Of course the Federal Trade Commission is still in denial over the issue as they stated; “The FTC [Federal Trade Commission] has no reason to believe the information on the laptops, as opposed to the laptops themselves, was the target of the theft.”

Dah, so what you think thieves in the Phoenix area do not know where to sell those social security numbers, driver’s license numbers and information on the black market as in like under 30 minutes? What complete incompetence and this is our government at work folks, the mighty FTC or Federal Trade Commission supposedly protecting us from what? The Boggie Man? For god’s sake they cannot even protect a couple of taxpayer paid for lap tops or their own employee’s personal information, this is truly pathetic indeed. Consider this in 2006.
