Primary Lessons Learned from the TSA Laptop Mess (Part 2)
A couple of weeks ago, I read about the demise of the Verified Identity Pass, Inc.'s Fly Clear program. This was a program working with TSA on the Registered Traveler service. Back in August 2008, I wrote how VIP and TSA had no accountability for losing a laptop with personal information of over 33,000 applicants. There is an additional lesson to be learned on top those from of my original article. If the public can't trust you with their personal information, they are not going to buy your product or service in the long run. That's why you need security and accountability when handling personal information. I am just glad that I didn't give in to the temptation of using their service. I have yet to hear about what is going to happen with the information of all applicants now that the company has gone away? Will it be sold? Will it be given to TSA for safekeeping? Will it be destroyed and the applicants notified?
Dear all,
I would like to transfer my old laptop documents/files etc to the new laptop without using any external hard disk.
Please let me know if its possible via any way.
Thank in advance,

DIAGNOSTICS
Error: $object is not a collection.
The first argument is an object, but not of a class which extends User::Identity::Collection.
Error: Cannot create a $type to add this to my collection.
Some options are specified to create a $type object, which is native to this collection. However, for some reason this failed.
Error: Cannot load collection module for $type ($class).
Either the specified $type does not exist, or that module named $class returns compilation errors. If the type as specified in the
warning is not the name of a package, you specified a nickname which was not defined. Maybe you forgot the 'require' the package which
defines the nickname.
Error: Cannot rename $name into $newname: already exists
Error: Cannot rename $name into $newname: doesn't exist
Error: Creation of a collection via $class failed.
The $class did compile, but it was not possible to create an object of that class using the options you specified.
Error: Don't know what type of collection you want to add.
If you add a collection, it must either by a collection object or a list of options which can be used to create a collection object.
In the latter case, the type of collection must be specified.
Warning: No collection $name
The collection with $name does not exist and can not be created.
Error: Wrong type of role for $collection: requires a $expect but got a $type
Each $collection groups sets of roles of one specific type ($expect). You cannot add objects of a different $type.
