How Dumb can you get

Secret government files on the al-Qaeda threat and the strength of the Iraqi security forces were left on a train by a senior intelligence officer, the Cabinet Office revealed today.
The documents, both marked "secret", were in an orange cardboard envelope left on a commuter train between London Waterloo and Surrey yesterday.
The file was found on a seat by a passenger who passed to the BBC after realising what was inside.
Scotland Yard confirmed it was investigating the loss of the documents, which the Cabinet Office said was "a matter of grave concern".

A Metropolitan Police spokesman said: "We are liaising with the BBC for the return of the papers."

And on next weeks Panorama, How secret is our secrets we will show you some very interesting papers found on a train.

Similar thing happened in Norway, but they gave it back to the government.

Boy, you British surely have some problems in keeping data safe. IIRC this isn't the first time sensitive data vanished in your country.:hmm:

But SUBAMN1 might be right. Maybe that stuff was supposed to be found to lead to a false trail.....

I'm sure the BBC will publish all details as soon as possible! I just wish someone would leave on a train or a bus something that would embrass government politicians, like information on affairs, kickbacks and so forth. I'm sure they would work overtime to find it and bury it. Well more often!
