I see

Very interesting. I half way remember a case wherein the authorities wanted somebody to provide the key to their computer HDD/SSD. No idea how it turned out, or what can be done if someone says they forgot/lost it.

That's sort of like showing up with a search warrant and demanding somebody hands over the stuff they cleverly hid, that the authorities can't find. Though the courts might see it different.

Also, didn't Gingrich once have a cell phone call intercepted, back in the analog days? IIRC the interceptor violated some regulation about what you can scan with.

Kick in to the DU tip jar?

This week we're running a special pop-up mini fund drive. From Monday through Friday we're going ad-free for all registered members, and we're asking you to kick in to the DU tip jar to support the site and keep us financially healthy.

As a bonus, making a contribution will allow you to leave kudos for another DU member, and at the end of the week we'll recognize the DUers who you think make this community great.

Tell me more...
