ABC News confirms Rine's threats as exaggerations 

Update: The article seems to have disappered from ABC News. Weird.

Another Update: Google's cache saved a copy of the article. Take a look at Page 1 and Page 2. (Thanks Miles)

So I guess the blogosphere's interest in Professor Rine's laptop speech was enough for ABC News to do a story on it.
Due to the importance of this data, Rine says he has begun to bring down the wrath of federal agencies ranging from the FBI, the U.S. Marshals, the Federal Trade Commission and the Securities and Exchange Commission.

The professor "exaggerated" — as Bob Sanders, a university spokesman, politely put today — about having contacted the agencies and some of the methods being employed to track and nab this pilferer.

According to campus officials, the parties involved with the data aren't too concerned because the data in the e-mail on that machine can't be deciphered by most of us...And while the professor would appreciate the laptop back, Rine has all but resigned himself to the reality that the laptop is gone.
