Not only was this PII, it was PII for the US Secret Service.
So, if I am understanding this correctly, you could find the addresses and etc of people on protection details for the President and other VIP's!
Probably with a bit of work you could figure out which people were likely to be on protective details from this type of information as well.
Really think they should have been using stronger encryption, and using a secure courier or something far more secure than a new low level employee riding public transport alone.
