oh shit! I left those important files on the tube!

LONDON (Reuters) - A senior civil servant who left secret intelligence files relating to Iraq and al Qaeda on a train was fined 2,500 pounds on Tuesday.

Richard Jackson, 37, from Yateley, Hampshire, admitted breaching the Official Secrets Act after he mislaid two documents when he inadvertently took them home on June 10.

He was physically sick when he realized he had lost the files on a train from London Waterloo to Surrey, the Press Association said. During the hearing, he spent much of the time with his head in his hands.

Jackson was suspended after the incident but has since returned to work, in a position described as at least three grades lower than before.

Man, finding those must have been pretty sweet.
