Nobody Knows Crime Like the FBI

For most businesses, losing 3 to 4 computers per month, mostly to theft, would be considers a crime wave. Say a company like Mattel was losing $10,000 worth of computer equipment each and every month. Outside investigators would be brought in, new security procedures would be instituted, and several mid-managers would get the axe.

The FBI, with 30,000 employees, is the same size as Mattel. For the FBI it's business as usual. In fact, they are really happy they got it down this low. They don't know where the computers are going. They don't know what was on them. They don't even know if classified information has been compromised. All they know is that five years ago they were losing 10 to 11 computers a month. Things are getting a lot better. They're losing scores of weapons, too.

Makes me wonder which side of organized crime the FBI is on.

How completely and insanely sad.

Who the hell knows what Cheney's leaking out there via the FBI's missing 'puters.
