Nixon was missing audio tapes now Clinton is missing a hard drive.

I wonder if Sandy Burger smuggled the hard drive out in his underwear like he did the Memos and other things to hide what Clinton did?

How can a person lose a hard disk? I mean, sure it is portable but still? I just wish the White House can find it soon.

looks like security scanners do not work at the building like they should.

Why isn't everything there tagged with RFID or something?
Seems like NA want things to go missing so that future history books can be rewritten by spooks when they retire.

geewiz, when a laptop was lost at the careless hands of some office personel that links your student loan to the irs, all i got was a letter that i should keep an eye out for any unautherized attempts on my credit because my info was on this laptop along with thousands of others. after many years of paying off this loan and after 4 yrs since the last payment some jerk has the right to pack arround personal info of others on a portable laptop so he could work at home, i guess. i didn`t see where anyone offered a reward for such sensitive info. i mean they could be using thousands of id`s for illegal immigration for just one. now, i think that is truely a security threat and a breech of my privacy. oh yeah, i was offered one year of free credit monitoring. all that is, is a snag when you go to process a loan or anything else where they check your credit. its hard being responsible for yourself when the government has the right to mishandle your information at your expense.
