State Department Says ‘Missing’ Laptops Located

The State Department says it has found the 400 laptops that were unaccounted for last week. A senior official acknowledged that managers in the Diplomatic Security service had lost track of the computers, which are destined for friendly foreign police services. But he said that they were located “within 24 hours” after CQ reported them missing over the weekend.

After Spending Millions, the FBI Computer System is Still No Hercules

His father was Zeus,the top god, but his mother was a mere mortal. Legend has it that she grew so jealous of the strapping, handsome infant that one day she sent two snakes to kill him in his crib.
