TSA Suspends “Clear” Program After Laptop Theft
Computer containing passenger data stolen from airport
The Transportation Security Administration (TSA) has suspended its “Clear” registered airline traveler program after a laptop containing personal data on 33,000 pre-enrolled members of the program was stolen from San Francisco International Airport.
The laptop was discovered missing from a locked office at the airport on July 26. The computer, which was password-protected but not encrypted, contained data such as names, addresses, dates of birth, driver’s license numbers, and other information.
