Lost USB Drive Bad for Spies

Think you'll get in trouble where you work if you lose a USB stick containing sensitive data? At least you're not MI6.

Wired has the story of major multi-million dollar undercover drug operation that needed to be scrapped after an agent left a USB memory stick filled with secret mission data behind on a train.

Things were so bad that undercover operatives had to be relocated due to the life-threatening implications of the lost information.

There's something about British government agencies and their inability to keep their secrets...well, secret.

Perhaps it's something regarding their diet.
