I like to ask you a question about the Geek Squad: Do they actively look for material they can report to the FBI in return for finder’s fees? A couple of cases I have seen led me to believe that some of these guys are running forensic software that looks for reportable material.

I’ve heard that’s true a few times. It could be an urban myth. Considering life in the 21st Century I’m inclined to believe it’s true.

It’s possible. I was there a few years ago and these things have only gotten worse. They had several proprietary diagnostic USB Drives that you used and they guarded them closely and l didn’t know all of what they did. If l had been there longer l could have cloned them and see everything they had on them but l was new enough that they kept a close watch so l never got the chance
