"I would also bet that a search of the techys personal PC would turn up the same child pics, Either he's taken a copy (The curiosity and being able to show the high profile pics to his mates, if he has any, for 'fun' would be too strong), or he originally planted them, either way he'd be just as guilty in this regard. I say call him in for investigation too!!"

Wow! How could you possibly know this? I'll take your bet. It must be great to be as all knowing as you. It's awesome that you can make outrageous statements like this with absolutely zero evidence to back it up. You claim the technician is just as guilty as this guy, but how do you know? I'm sure you know this person and have seen these pictures on his PC first hand, right?

Wrong.

Secondly, unless everybody on this board has information that wasn't mentioned in this article, you're speculating on how the technician came across the material in question to begin with.

Everybody is jumping to the conclusion that the technician was rooting through the customers hard drive for no good reason. We have no idea why this actor took the PC to the Geek Squad. Isn't it possible that his system wasn't booting into Windows and he asked the Geek Squad to recover data for him, and as the technician was copying files from the requested directories he noticed file names for pictures that led him to believe they were pictures of underage children?

Of course it's possible. It's also possible that the technician was rooting through his hard drive for not good reason. Of course, the technician works for the Geek Squad, so he must be up to no good, right?

"Just the facts, ma'am"
