06May TSA Employee Data Goes Missing
According to Threat Level, a Wired blog, the Transportation Security Administration (TSA) is missing a hard drive containing the social security numbers, birth dates, bank accounts, and payroll info of about 100,000 employees. A TSA press release states “It is unclear at this stage whether the device is still within headquarters or was stolen.”
Looks like their Information Security department isn’t doing a good job.

Did you say “Looks like their Information Security department isn’t doing a good job.” I just quit TSA and all my info went missing just before I resigned. Changed all my accounts and all the other information that I could. It is a real pain.
I did not quit due to the missing data. All of my reasons for quiting relate to management and neither to the uniformed TSA security officers. If TSA fails, it will be due to management. Feel free to see my reasons for resigning at http://www.rustyhinges.org. It might surprise you! I will never complain again about my days in the US Army Infantry. Go Army!

Yes I did. If a hard drive w/that much sensitive data went missing someone wasn’t doing their job.
