Do you consider this surveilance tactic of the FBI invasion of privacy or a necessary evil of our modern age?

Apparently the FBI has been using Best Buy’s Geek Squad to routinely sift through the hard drives of customers who have brought in computers for repairs….any kind of repair. They are looking for suspicious criminal activity and have bust a lot of people for child porn.

To me this stands as an illegal unwarranted search….but apparently laws don’t apply to the FBI anymore. So what is your reaction to this? Do you consider this surveillance tactic invasion of privacy or a necessary evil of our modern age? Link to the story
