Fta:
The FBI confiscated “an unusual amount of computer equipment” that Mr. Liu had brought with him, including the laptops and tablet and also two smartphones, a smartwatch, a computer thumb drive, two digital video cameras, several SIM cards and high-capacity storage drives, according to the affidavit.
If the guy pleads not-guilty, I wonder how he'd explain why he had that much equipment with him for a business meeting.
- Aloha 9y agoThis often sounds like the kit I travel with, up to three laptops (work main, work task, personal), two phones (work/personal), occasionally a tablet, a portable hardrive, 3-6 thumb drives, plus cables, adapters, dongles, and a power bar or two. I hope that we're not entering a world where having a bunch of computer equipment automatically makes you suspect.
- shapov 9y agoI think the 2 video cameras and several SIM cards is what seems odd about this combo.
- TeMPOraL 9y agoNear a crime for which this equipment is relevant (note the cameras and high-capacity drives)? I'd say that should make you suspect. But, obviously, not presumed guilty.
- kodt 9y agoI mean, the fact he was trespassing is also a pretty major part of it.

I already get funny looks in Cafe's when I'm in a shell on a server/writing code. You'd think these days people would be more used to it but where I live isn't exactly the tech capital of the world.
