Customs Reports Missing Credentials and Computers
Earlier this week it was the Justice Department's Inspector General's report that caused a stir with its finding that weapons and computers belonging to the FBI and INS were lost or stolen.
Today it's Customs' turn. The Treasury Department's Inspector General's report discloses that thousands of computers and employee credentials have been reported stolen or missing during the last three years.
"Many of the computers could have contained information that was classified or related to law enforcement investigations, while the badges could be used for someone to pose as a customs officer or gain access to prohibited areas, according to the report and security experts."
