MoD laptop stolen from McDonalds

Heya,

Summary:
A laptop from a member of the Ministry of Defence has been stolen while he was eating in McDonalds. The MoD said the information was not sensitive and was fully encrypted. The laptop holds information on 600,000 people who applied to join the armed forces. Whitehall staff are currently forbidden in taking unencrypted laptops or sensitive information out of the working area.

My opinion:
It is quite stupid to have your laptop stolen while eating in McDonalds. Why would you take a laptop containing important information out of the working area when not even paying attention to it. These things should be penilized (even worse) than they are now. They tightened the rules for taking those laptops away, but it should be penilized.

Toedels,
