You know while tt is great that they caught him....but wtf are they doing probing around peoples HD's fer? Isn't a gross violation of privacy reading peoples data, not to mention all the havoc that could be wreaked with personal information unwittingly stored on your computer. I hope that the GS'er was at least reprimanded and preferably fired.

Its actually pretty common among low paid tech shops. Usually its a technician questing for MP3s. Its almost always against policy, but managers turn a blind eye to it. This is why I never suggest ever taking your computer to someone you don't know. Just never a good idea. And if you have to, buy yourself an external hard disk for your financial data and other private files.

Or you could just download a problem called "Truecrypt" and store all your information there, I've found it very effective. So effective, in fact, that when I had my computer in shop some months ago it was there for over five weeks.. I later found out that the tech working on it had spend four of those weeks trying to crack my Truecrypt volume, he didn't succeed of course :);)

Suffice it to say, he's no longer working there.

However, I've always had a saying. "If you've got nothing to hide, then there shouldn't be a problem with an officer searching your car. However, if you say 'no' THEN you have something to hide, because that officer will assume right then and there that you hiding something potentially 'illegal'"
