Hey, isn't that the third time in Alberta in less than three years? I found this site while trying to locate the 2nd. Maybe you should add your link called
Incident: Encrypted Tapes Containing Health Information on Hundreds of Thousands of Albertans Missing or Tampered With at http://www.privacylawyer.ca/blog/
2005/03/incident-encrypted-tapes-containing.html
to this page as well.

How can it happen so many times unless it's deliberate?
