The Ponemon Institute released a study last June that estimates over 600,000 laptops go missing in U.S. airports every year. In the largest airports, the authors believe 10,000 laptop computers are lost or stolen each week! Medium sized airports account for another 2,000 cases. The study, titled “Airport Insecurity: Case of the Lost Laptops”, goes on to conclude that only about a third of the computers are every returned to their owners. Incredibly, the final tally for lost or stolen laptops adds up to a whopping 630,000, each and every year.
