That's the understatement of the century. What the hell was anyone doing with that info on an MP3 player anyway?

I thought they did like they do here in Australia and ban the use of MP3 and thumb drives from government departments, or at least deactivate the USB ports!

It's even worse.. I used to work as a Service Tech for a local retailer and plenty of our customers came from the local Army base. I got a couple of times a PC or Laptop handed that was taken in the evening before, that had classified files on it.
