Another laptop has been stolen, in this case jeopardizing personal information of some 1,000 airmen of the West Virginia Air National Guard, reports the Charleston (W.Va.) Herald-Dispatch. The Guard has notified members of the 130th Airlift Wing of the potential compromise of personal data, but a spokesman told the newspaper that USAF has “some of the most sophisticated encryption processes to safeguard information on government computers.”
The Air Force is launching an effort to develop a new stand-off missile with a range of 1,000 nautical miles, or 1,150 miles, that would eventually be used for both air-to-air and air-to-surface missions.
