A New Zealand man spent $9 on a generic mp3 player at a thrift store and came home with something chock full of military secrets, including troop positions (as well as the home phone numbers and addresses of many soldiers) as well as weapons movements and other very sensitive information. Astute readers will remember that this is far form the first time this has happened; a few years back a laptop was lost containing private information about thousands of soldiers.
And yes, I know everyone makes mistakes and blah, blah, blah, but how does this seriously continue to happen? But an even more pertinent question is why do we outspend the rest of the world combined on our Armed Forces when we're attacked by men with box cutters and it only take 9 bucks at a thrift store to get military secrets?
