He's a bloodhound for the digital age. Much the way other dogs can pick up the scent of a fugitive or a cache of cocaine, Bear the labrador can smell the components of electronic media, even a micro-card as small as a fingernail that a suspect could easily hide.

From the article:

The 2-year-old rescue pooch nosed out a thumb drive that humans had failed to find during a search of Fogle's Indiana house in July, several weeks before he agreed to plead guilty to having X-rated images of minors and paying to have sex with teenage girls.

    Because as we all know, innocent people never get abused by the government. As soon as you're employed by the government, you become a perfect being incapable of breaking the law, making mistakes, or succumbing to basic human nature that every other government in the history of the world was subject to. The US government is special, you see. Especially if you ignore all the abuses it already committed. Then it has a perfect track record!

    Yeah, and stashing a decoy thumb drive to distract from your real thumb drive is going to make the situation soooooo much better . . .

      I didn't say anything like that. I'd say a better bet is to use strong encryption whenever possible, though.

        Sorry, I took your reply in the context of the fork this discussion fell into. In terms of keeping private shit private, I agree 100% -- encryption is the far superior away.
