As widely reported in the last day, the previously lost VA laptop with personal info from 26+ million vets was turned into police in Baltimore, MD yesterday. Officals say the information was likely not compromised while the laptop was touring the DC/MD area.  Now, the question becomes, will congress still appropriate millions of dollars for credit monitoring services to help the Vets protect themselves from ID theft. The VA is already requesting over 160 million in emergency funds to improve VA data security.
