[Moderator: Sounds like this laptop was not in a SCIF at all, but
carried around the ship at times. Even if a SCIF based laptop,
I have been in SCIFs and SCI areas that did not get searches
on the way out, even carrying a laptop bag.]

I am REAL certain that storing classified info on the non-removeable
drive of a laptop would be a court-marshal offence. They might
have authorized it IF the laptop was not allowed out of the SCIF.
Every military/intel SCIF I was ever in had an armed guard who inspected
everything taken in or out.
So either it was a coordinated theft, or someone stored classified data
illegally(sp) on that laptop's hdd.
