The FOIA request was filed by the nonprofit Electronic Frontier Foundation after the FBI’s link to the Geek Squad was uncovered in the child pornography case against California doctor Mark Rettenmaier.

My parents once mentioned using geek squad and my reply was that I hope you do not expect anything on your pc to remain private because they will wade thru all your files.
They hire are a bunch of underpaid kids with a minimum knowledge base on computers.
All criminals have to do it take one computer course and they can work at geek squad.
Our founders warned us about government being to strong.
Good
Looking at, possessing and/or creating child pornogrophy is horrible and disgusting.
And so is violating the Constitution of the United States. This is definitely illegal search. No question.
Why can't our government just scan the web and eliminate these sites before these perverts get their hands on it. Why is that so damned hard to do?
