Grocery retailer Royal Ahold NV has told former and retired U.S. employees a company computer with sensitive personal information has been stolen.

Royal Ahold said the names, Social Security numbers, birth dates and pension details of an unknown number of ex-workers had been stored on the laptop, a report says.

The Netherlands-based Royal Ahold operates Giant Food, Stop & Shop, Tops and other chains in the United States and Europe.

The Washington Post reports an employee was forced to check the laptop on a May 2 flight because the overhead bins were full.

5. Given the number of "stolen laptops" with sensitive info

I think the Bushco gov't is doing it on purpose and using the "theft" as a cover. They are illegally accumulating personal info of US citizens to spy and categorize us. Are they going after democrats first???? Since when did American citizens become the enemy??? Why aren't they targeting the terrorists?? It looks to me like they are using the "terror issue to terrorize us!!!!

7. Democrats want the GOP

out. The Turrists help keep the GOP in power.

That should pretty much tell you who their friends and who their enemies are. If Bush was a friend to America, things would be different.
