WASHINGTON (AP) -- Nearly all active-duty military, Guard and Reserve members -- about 2.2 million total -- may be at risk for identity theft because their personal information was among the data stolen from a Veterans Affairs employee last month.

Scary thought, an unsecured laptop has personal information of over 2 million persosns in our nations reserves. I would not want to be the person who is in charge of the laptops care, or one of the people at risk for ID theft.

Yeah, my Dad got a letter in the mail about this, saying his name might have been on there.
