Wow, 20yrs ago I was in college, just switching over to Comp Sci and didn't join Slashdot until years later. It's always informative and hilarious here. Keep it up!
Unfortunately that cannot happen. If it's foreign soil, they have no mandate to operate outside the US, and would need to also abide by the laws of the host country.
Should host country declare that the soil those agents are on is sovereign, such as an embassy, then that land would be considered US soil and thus the border crossing applies as if those agents were back on "normal" US soil. That's how I understand it, however the usual IANAL disclaimer applies here.
You're saying that pigments with metal particles in them are blocking certain wavelengths of light from penetrating the skin? I'm shocked. I'm shocked, Cotton!
I don't think EnCase will worry yet. When people ask, I always say that EnCase is the Windows of forensic software. Windows may suck, but it's still the "gold standard" tool to use in forensics examinations, FTK being second. There's always a niche tho, like BlackLight for Mac examinations. I'm not much of a developer but I would love to poke around with Dshell.
Sure I went back, finished my undergrad degree, got my masters in Forensic Computing but my 10+ years experience in IT definitely helps.
"We have these weird files, do you know what they are?"
"Oh that's from the same type of document management system this company I worked at uses."
"Oh Lotus Notes, does any one have experience with this?"
"Why yes I do."
Those are some small examples but registry locations, locations of where OS's and Applications keep their files, etc directly translates into useful info in Forensics/Security. We even had someone join my last company as an Associate (sort of entry level) that worked IT for 15yrs, no formal Forensics/Security training, but after a while, he was doing quite well. I think it'd be important to tailor your resume to show you know some of the requisite info and bring it home in an interview.
I worked in a computer forensics lab and we had several road kits. I labeled all the power supplies, devices, etc with a P-Touch so they didn't get mixed up on someone else's kit. It at least cleared up confusion as to what belongs to who when we went on big collections.:)
FTFY. The whole idea is that no warrant is issued. Otherwise, as normal, a prosecutor would need to show a judge probable cause to issue a warrant to seize the phone. This is happening at the scene where the judiciary is not a factor.
Well, it is relevant actually as one is legal, one is not. Currently, in most states I am aware of regarding enacted cell phone laws, hands free is ok.
IANAL, but I would agree that evidence of the text messages would only be circumstantial and again while IANAL, enough circumstantial evidence can be shown in court to convince a jury of your arguments. Taking this piece of the pie out hinders that.
Check that, FUCK no. As a new NJ resident this is stupid. What if the text was "written" hands free using Siri, etc? How exactly do you know crash times? What if it wasn't a deadly accident and someone made a phone call right after. It could be argued that you were on the phone before the crash, depending on whose clock you time the accident on. What if your cellphone has a password? Can they then compel you at the scene to give it up? I wouldn't.:P
Uh, depends on how this thing is calibrated. Is it set to go off if you are over the white line at a red? Then if I stopped 3-5ft long at a light, I'm getting a ticket for running it? Seems like a scam to me.
Because your service sucks? Nothing annoyed me more than TWC's pathetic excuse for cablemodem service. Second only to Optimum Online. While Verizon's customer service sucks something nasty, their FiOS service, in my opinion, is unmatched. But if they offered a gigabit service I'd hop on it like a college kid to free beer.

As we all collectively say "You'll be missed", she's somewhere looking at us and saying "I know".

Someone doesn't watch movies I gather...
Well, who's gonna audit the auditors of the auditors?
I wouldn't mind doing a little AUDITING myself.

Thanks a lot U.K.'s National Ballistics Intelligence Service, way to throw down the gauntlet and challenge folks...
I used libbde to mount BitLockered volumes on my SIFT workstation:

I've only used with Win7 however, and I haven't tested Win8.
$2.9 million? Frackin' eh!

"Hello Mr. Yakamoto and welcome back to the GAP!"
I'd be willing to bet that 68% of all statistics are made up on the spot...
the key phrase: and no warrants shall issue

As a former IT worker working in computer forensics now, you now know how I feel watching CSI, Swordfish and the like.
Settle down there jerkwad. 3 feet? Where I live there's a gap between cross walks and stop lines.

Except now he'd be the $27,586,004.06 man. Gotta love inflation!
