Commerce Department Secretary Carlos Gutierrez isn't the only high-level government official who has had trouble keeping data from thieves -- or holding on to the computer itself.

"Two sets of confidential documents have been left on trains by security officials in the last week," the Tribune reported. "One set of papers included secret briefings on Iraq and al-Qaida."
