Thanks Larry.  What I found interesting is the following comment:

California's privacy breach notice law requires companies and federal
agencies to notify state residents when their unencrypted personal
information is or may have been acquired by an unauthorized person.
But the law applies only to electronic records, not paper ones, says
Beth Givens, director of the Privacy Rights Clearinghouse.

I was under the impression (mistakenly I guess) that the California
law applied to all records and information, no matter the media.
After further investigation I've found that many state security breach
notice laws appear to apply only to computerized data.  Granted, much
of our information is in electronic format.  But as long as there are
printers and copies available we'll still have to deal with paper.
Sorry Mr. Whitaker (RET)...
