I sympathize and I protest but I should advise anyone who fears or suspects such action or threat to use encryption.

Yes, the feds often have a backdoor but making their life harder should be SOP for any journalist.

If you are a journalist, what are you hiding from the feds?
Just asking. Help me out here.
If I was a journalist, the only thing I would be worried about is my story leaking before I could publish it.
I’m not a journalist. I just don’t know. Am I being simplistic?

Also, I’m curious why would they switch your HD?
If they wanted your data, they could just copy it, or mirror it.
The only reason to physically switch it that I can think of is if they wanted to keep the original and scan it for deleted data. How long did they have her computer?

What if you found out there was a company called in-q-tel that was really the CIA and for more than a decade they have been investing in new technology so that they could not only control the info they could profit from it?
