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.

    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.
