So much is endemic to "non thinking" people, both in management and at user level. Security of data - and equipment - very rapidly becomes a background matter, secondary to the individual's activities, and only comes to the fore at occasional pertinent moments. How often has one seen a computer unattended with on screen data showing or a laptop left working on a desk while the operator collects a drink. And the oft reported laptop losses from cars, taxis, etc where the responsible person has left to "do something else"
I dread to think how many unreported losses of flash drives there are and, by their nature, how much very recent data has been lost. The loss of a flash drive or a small USB pocket hard drive is easily covered as replacements are so cheap and anonymous.
