DEA informant? Go into hiding...

The DEA has apparently misplaced (or has had stolen) a laptop computer containing information identifying their informants.

Federal investigators are frantically trying to determine what happened to a missing laptop computer that contains sensitive data on as many as 100 Drug Enforcement Administration investigations around the country, including a wealth of information about many of the agency's confidential informants.

Oops. Say, do you think people this incompetent can be trusted to fight terrorism?
