Hmmm. So this would apply to fingerprint-enabled devices as well? Can they currently coerce you into giving up your fingerprint, or acquire your fingerprint and use gummy-bear access methods? And what would happen if you had a specific unused login account that the instant you logged in ran a script that disabled ALL inputs (power-off included) and DD'ed all over your supposed illegal material? So many holes so little time... Elroy. gb wrote:
It is an extension of the guilty until proven innocent doctrine that is now beginning to pervade all aspects of law enforcement, not unlike what happens in police states. Probable cause, due process and court ordered search warrants have been thrown out in favour of broad powers at the click of a mouse, especially when it comes to electronic privacy of individuals and surveillance concerns.
