|  Wouldn't it be easier . . .
If the Labour Government simply compiled a mailing list and sent all sorts of sensitive, privileged, and national security information out to all the 'usual suspects'?
I mean, it really does seem a bit tedious to rely on Cabinet ministers, MPs, and senior civil servants carrying around laptops with sensitive information on them (which shouldn't be there in the first place) so that bad guys can get the stuff.
Why not just cut out the middle man? »news.bbc.co.uk/1/hi/uk_politics/7459579.stm

| The thing is, 50 years or so ago, we were leading the world on this sort of thing. Security and deception. 20 years ago, when I was in the RAF, sensitive documents were checked every 12 hours for their presence and we would rotate a file check page by page twice daily.
Any anomaly and everything stopped until it was resolved.
How we have arrived in this situation is beyond me. |

What she hasn't told anyone is that she has a file on her desktop called "My Passwords.txt".

| But her kids would figure that one out in a flash and then, next time, one of them was using her laptop on the internet, . . . oh, dear, ... now I think I understand why the laptop had to 'disappear'
