Sometimes even good organizations can lose data. I've heard of a number of cases of E&Y losing laptops, but at least they report it. I wonder how many other organizations don't bother!
The ideal is to prevent the loss of information. However, you can't stop laptops from getting stolen, so we need some legislation (or business initiative) to force protection of data, through encryption and authentication. In the event that data does get stolen, we also need to ensure that corporations know what data has been stolen, and that they are mandated to notify those affected.
