There may be federal investigators who can efficiently deal with any kind of 
hardware, but there are also some who don't have a clue. Case in point: Of
the three computers seized from my office, one was totally wrecked when it
was returned. There's every reason to believe the damage occurred - or at
least started - before they got it to their investigation site. Thus, if we
HAD been wicked people, the investigators themselves might have destroyed
the evidence. And this wasn't some local bunch; this was the US Secret
Service.
