What are they going to lose next?
Miscellaneous Forums/General Discussion/What are they going to lose next?On Monday, prosecutors said a senior public official who left top secret intelligence assessments of al Qaeda and the security forces in Iraq on a London commuter train is due to face charges under the Official Secrets Act.
It's getting beyond a joke now... The government has a bloody cheek to take an aggressive stance on piracy, when they are allowing our data and information and national security, to be left on trains, plains and automobiles, largely unpunished.
Jail anyone for 10 years minimum for losing data like this and like that lost before, and we'll see if they continue to be so careless.
Oooh - but they repealed the treason laws didn't they? Another coincidence - the slithery Marxist traitors are now well within as well as outside the gates.

Since the camera was sold on eBay, it looks like it was stolen. Anyway, I won't consider this data of national security since the only downside of losing it would be having the suspects to know that they are been investigated (which probably they already know), and not compromise anything else.
You may want to know that intelligence documents are not always so secret or significant; a government agency works like any other ministry, and even classified documents often are of little or no importance. Most people has a wrong idea of the secret services (a great spoof on the subject is Burn After Reading, which is a spy story without the spy story since everything depends on the wrong perception of the people involved). An internal review would be enough.
This one however I agree that should be prosecuted penally:
A scan or photo of the documents wouldn't be enough?
