I think you might be right, but I had reason to worry given Uber's history with competitors, esp. industrial espionage. They were actively competing with the company I worked for at the time. The laptop was my own, but I have no reason

as a candidate you're trying to please and build trust, so naturally I wouldn't raise questions that would indicate my lack of trust
