Seems to me this would bring up all problems about probable cause. Just because there is a computer doesn't necessarily mean it's been used for anything illegal, and can't be investigated because of that. It's kind of like, if the cops have a warrant to search for marijuana, and they find a gun, they can't take the gun in as evidence and run it and find that it's the murder weapon in something unrelated. Their warrant is for the marijuana, and just because they find a gun doesn't mean it's anything sinister.
I cut down on my startup time by buying a new harddrive that didn't come without all the preloaded drivers and crap and reinstalling the OS. My dell now loads in approximately 45 seconds. Which admittedly is a little more than the "optimal" 20 second time, but it much better than the 3 minutes I had to wait before.
I logged into Yahoo for the first time in like a century to see what all the hoopla was about, and went through the new profile generation process.

So I'm not sure what exactly you'd need to contact customer support for....
So pretty much we're putting all of the information about our top-secret informants in one place. Isn't there a saying about putting all your eggs in one basket? Pretty much the only way I can figure the system itself would remain secure would be if you could only access it on-location. And not letting some idiot set their password to '123'. And monitoring users' brainwaves to make sure they're not only who they claim to be, but also still 100% loyal and not stupid enough to have internet explorer set to remember their password for the next time they login. And don't lose their government-issued laptop. And don't have a tendency to go to seedy bars and get drunk and spill their life stories to anybody within listening range. And...
