Remember that laptop computer containing pre-enrollment records on 33,000 would-be participants in the Clear Registered Traveler program that the TSA reported stolen from an office at San Francisco Airport? It turns out that it wasn't missing at all -- it was just ... ummm ... across the room. Yeah, that's it.

The laptop was found Tuesday in the same airport office, but not in the same location from which it had been discovered missing, according to the sheriff's office, which is helping with the investigation.

Beer said the airport office is always locked, so if the laptop was removed, someone would have needed a key to return it.

Whew! That's a relief. Sort of.
