The Transportation Security Administration suspended Verified Identity
Pass from enrolling travelers in its pre-screening program after a
laptop computer containing the records of 33,000 people went missing.

The company, based in New York, lost possession of the laptop July 26 at
San Francisco International Airport. The laptop contained unencrypted
pre-enrollment records of individuals, the TSA said in a statement
yesterday.

The federal government on Monday barred a registered-traveler service
launched three years ago at Orlando International Airport from enrolling
new members after an unencrypted company laptop containing personal
information for about 33,000 prospective customers was stolen from a
locked office.

The Transportation Security Administration said it has instructed all
airports that contract with Verified Identity Pass Inc. -- which
operates the "Clear" program at OIA and nearly 20 other airports across
the country -- to suspend enrollment in the service and to secure all
unencrypted computers until encryption software is installed. The agency
also instructed San Francisco International Airport, where the laptop
was lost, to ensure that Verified Identity Pass immediately contacts
everyone whose personal information was stored on the missing computer.
