The latest to suffer an identity theft breach - the innovative CLEAR system that speeds frequent travelers through airport security by collecting personal data, doing an extensive background check and issuing smart cards.

The company has now decided that it might be a good idea to encrypt the data in their systems.

Thanks to oracletechnet for bringing this to my attention.
