The irony is that even if they had filtered out the 'unwanted' data, they would still have been in breach of the Data Protection Act due to the unsecure method of sending the stuff.

It beggars belief that in the electronic age, when it is perfectly possible to transmit data securely 'over the wire', that they resorted to sending CDs via unrecorded courier service.
