This computer takes better vacations than I do

Whoopsie:

A laptop computer containing psychological screenings of 441 applicants for California peace officer jobs was stolen in Mexico this month, State Personnel Board officials said Wednesday. . . . .

The computer was stolen Jan. 11 while the psychologist, whom Evans declined to name, was vacationing in Mexico. She said the psychologist was apparently unaware of a recent state requirement that all state information stored in a private computer be encrypted so as to be unreadable without a special code.

A state requirement? How about a professional requirement? Do her other clients know she takes their problems on vacation? Ugh. Man, those must be some uncomfortable conversations. Bummer!
