An unencrypted laptop containing data from travelers who applied to the Clear program disappeared at San Francisco International Airport last week. After the TSA announced the suspension of new enrollments in the program, though, the computer reappeared. “Investigators are now treating the disappearance as a theft,” according to the AP.
The TSA is still trying to determine whether the personal information had been accessed during the computer’s disappearance.
