The information on the laptop cannot be remotely erased, sources said.
Why is that a capability I have built-in to all my Macs, iPads, and iPhone to remotely track and erase a stollen device; but somehow the Secret Service does not. Freaking amateur hour operation.
That's insufficient. With Bitlocker and TPM the laptop is a brick, no need to erase anything. If it can be booted to enable erasing, it is vulnerable.
