ORIGINAL: kyakitten BUT I just don't believe a repairperson would be very likely to encounter blatantly criminal pornographic photos on somebody like Lockhart's computer unless they went looking for them! Maybe but, a couple of months, or so, ago, a local priest was arrested after taking his computer into a repair shop. The technician working on the computer found child pornography on the computer. I'm not remembering all the facts and whether of not there were pictures of the priest, himself, with children but, the authorities were searching for children who might have been victims. (When the priest was arrested he told reporters, "My father is elderly and ill. This is going to kill him." This is an intelligent, well educated and, until that time, well respected man. My point being, whatever the reason, ignorance, arrogance or something else, criminals do leave incriminating material on their computers. While I strongly support the right to privacy, I believe that, if one stores incriminating material on one's computer, and then gives a third party access to the computer, and thus the material, the privacy issues go away. The legal search and seizure issues certainly do.
