2007 A Record
Year In Data Breaches
The loss or theft of personal data such as credit card
and Social Security numbers soared to unprecedented levels in 2007, and
the trend isn't expected to turn around anytime soon as hackers stay a
step ahead of security and laptops disappear with sensitive information,
reports the Associated Press.
And while companies, government agencies, schools and other institutions
are spending more to protect ever-increasing volumes of data with more
sophisticated firewalls and encryption, the investment often is too
little too late.

Stadium
Security Threat Worries Experts
After more than a decade in counterterrorism, Jim
McGee can no longer relax and enjoy watching a sports event.
The fans look like potential victims of terrorism to the former FBI
agent turned college instructor. The players are possible targets and
the security gaps are easy to detect.
"It's always in the back of my mind, even when I'm watching them on TV,"
McGee told the Associated Press. "You're kind of looking at things. The

'Hmmm, that doesn't look right,' that's probably a little bit of a risk

Atlanta
Airport Streamlining Security With Fast Lanes
More security lanes -- including some that fliers
would pay to use -- could be in store for the sometimes clogged security
checkpoints at Atlanta's Hartsfield-Jackson International Airport over
the next few months, reports The Atlanta Journal Consistitution.
Airport officials are reviewing two proposals to provide so-called Lexus
fast lanes, which customers -- primarily business fliers -- could use
for a fee. Hartsfield-Jackson General Manager Ben DeCosta, meanwhile, in
a separate move has ordered his staff to study the feasibility of adding
three more security lanes to the 28 that now exist, possibly by summer.
The world's busiest airport sought proposals for the paid security lanes
earlier this year, and two companies submitted plans by the deadline
this month.
