The Census Bureau collects the most personal information about Americans, from how much money they earn and where they spend it to how they live and die. It's all confidential as long as no one steals it.Great moments in government.Imagine if we ever get "universal health care",your personal information might get lost by the bureaucracy.
Lost or stolen from the Census Bureau since 2003 are 217 laptop computers, 46 portable data storage devices and 15 handheld devices used by survey takers.
