Yeah, I would make that assumption if they confiscated the device and said "we'll send it back to you whenever."
But why do I feel that "derpy DHS agent browses computer for a few minutes" is far, far more likely in a scenario where the device is taken to a back room?
Is it really impossible to know anything about what is done with devices in the back room?
- eximius 9y agoLet's say they had your device for 15 minutes. Thats enough to disassemble and copy a bunch of data and reassemble. Unless you have whole drive encryption they only need to copy the user folders (typically). Or your machine might have been in a queue and only looked at for 2 minutes. Or they might have not looked at it at all. Now pick a few different timeframes and you tell me how hard it is to know?
