Whether or not the data is illegal and leads to arrest, warrantless searches by non-law-enforcement personnel is disturbing on an ethical level and we're pretty sure unconstitutional.

Well, "they" are pretty darned wrong. There is nothing the least bit "unconstitutional" about what happened here. The Constitution is supposed to protect you against GOVERNMENT abuse. It seems that fewer and fewer people understand this. This could be seen as an abuse of power, opening Geek Squad to civil and possible, but doubtful, criminal prosecution, but it's NOT "unconstitutional."

Having been thru a very nasty divorce over 25 years ago, I wonder how a person could protect him or her self from a divorcing spouse. I can see how an innocent person could be set up to take a fall. A lot of crap could be downloaded and hid on a computer.
