Some clumsy Briton at MI6 has lost a Nikon digital camera that’s filled to the brim with all sorts of sensitive information, including info on al-Qaeda. What’s worse, not that losing the camera isn’t bad enough, but that it was sold on eBay.

Yup, the missing Nikon is loaded with info on al-Qaeda, including names, finger prints and academic records.

Oh, and the camera was sold for the low, low price of £17, or just under $31.

At right, the only James Bond that matters.
