SAN FRANCISCO (AP) - The company that runs an airport security 
prescreening program said Tuesday they've found a laptop containing the 
personal information of 33,000 people more than a week after it 
apparently went missing.

The Transportation Security Administration suspended new enrollments to 
the program, known as Clear, after the unencrypted computer was reported 
stolen.

The company that runs an airport security prescreening program said 
Tuesday they found a laptop containing the personal information of 
33,000 people more than a week after it apparently went missing.

The Transportation Security Administration announced late Monday that it 
had suspended new enrollments to the program, known as Clear, after the 
unencrypted computer was reported stolen at San Francisco International 
Airport.

A spokeswoman for Verified Identity Pass Inc., which operates the 
program, said the company reported the laptop stolen to airport police 
and the TSA more than a week ago when they could not account for its 
whereabouts.

The laptop was found Tuesday morning in the same company office where it 
supposedly had gone missing, said spokeswoman Allison Beer.

"It was not in an obvious location," said Beer, who said an 
investigation was under way to determine whether the computer was 
actually stolen or had just been misplaced.
