Hard Drive Search Warrants, hmm....

An emerging issue of the day involves the increasing use of law enforcement in getting search warrants for your hard drive.  What are they looking for?  Of course it depends on what crime you are suspected in engaging in.  This fascinating article from Ars Technica dives into the issue.  As more and more of our lives are stored digitally, we really need to think about how to secure it is from prying eyes.  For the criminally inclined, they tend to leave stuff where we can find it, but for you honorable, law-abiding citizens, you can easily secure your data on your drives from anyone with programs such as TrueCrypt and the like.
