You missed the part where the user ran up and down the hallways like a lunatic for three days. The IT department was under lockdown protocol while the soap opera played out in the hallways.
You make a LOT of grammar mistakes and in many cases you skip entire words.
Somebody has to keep the grammar Nazis busy. Otherwise, the self-righteous pricks would leave for Reddit.

It might also explain why the creimer you talk about and the creimer we read about are two completely different people.
I get that reaction a low when I go in for job interviews. When the hiring manager looks at my resume, looks at me, and looks at my resume again, I know that I'm not getting the job. Former poster children of mongolism aren't supposed to be technically brilliant.
They should probably hire some friends to work with him, so that somebody doesn't shoot him while his hands are busy doing computer stuff.
This isn't The X-Files where two agents are all alone against the creature of the week. When a search warrant is executed, it's a team effort to secure the evidence as quickly as possible.
Maybe I'm not familiar enough with their procedures but it seems ridiculous to me that a forensic expert would be doing any of his work in a location that has not been secured.
Until the location is secured, the expert is just another agent.
I suspect the flight attendants would have simply asked you to leave the plane so they could get under the maximum takeoff weight.
On my last plane flight, every seat was filled. No one was asked to leave the plane because it couldn't take off. If the plane was overloaded, they simply send your luggage on a different flight.
If someone took my work PC with all of my data on it, I would lose my shit as well.
In the Enterprise environment, "your" work PC can be replaced, reimaged and assigned to someone else for any reason at any time.
He may have had a bitcoin wallet on there with a million dollars in it for all you know. Maybe his only copy of a manuscript he's been working on for half a decade is on there.
User profile data is stored on the network and accessible by logging into any system on the network. If data got stored outside of the user profile (typically the root of the C drive), it could be recovered during the 90-day period that the hard drive is kept before being destroyed. For systems suspected of having kiddie porn, the law requires keeping the system intact for one year after the initial police report.
There are other reasons why someone would lose their cool when their PC/Data suddenly is yanked away that are totally unrelated to kiddie porn.
The user had six weeks of notifications that warned him to remove personal data prior to the PC being refreshed.
Sorry, express bus hit a pot hole and my finger accidentally hit the submit button. Before I was interrupted...
The developer removed all his packages, including the ever popular pad left function. Who knew that every JavaScript project was dependent on it being available?

Nothing you did increased their security & compliance metrics?
When the project got started three years ago, there was a half-dozen reporting systems that all said different things about the same data. Today there is only one reporting system.
For such a wildly successful project, I'm surprised that nobody had metrics showing (and justifying) the project's personnel.
Security compliance three years ago was 70% or less. Today it's 95% or better.
All child pornography reports are fake. Someone just wanted an excuse for a witch hunt.
The user was never told why security confiscated his system. He was offered a replacement system but kept insisting on getting back his old system. He behaved like a lunatic for three days, throwing away whatever professional reputation he had. An innocent person would have accepted a replacement system and continued on working.
Right - pray for it. It's not because it's a disgusting, abhorrent thing that brutalizes and damages innocent children - it's just a SUPER inconvenient thing to have to deal with making a couple legal statements and filing a report.
If it was a "SUPER inconvenient thing", the easiest course of action would be to do nothing.
You might even have to miss your lunch for a day or two.
My coworker reported the filenames he came across while transferring data between systems. He never looked at the images. He only had the log file from the data transfer. It was the IT manager and security chief's job to make the determination and confiscate the system.
Do you ever think before you post?
Yes, I do. Your knee-jerk hostility towards me is misplaced.
Those that works in IT Security generally have years, if not a decade or more, of tier 2 and teir 3 level experience. Meaning, they've long graduated helpdesk, and yet as the most experienced in the group, they're still the go-to people to seek regardless of the fact it's NOT THEIR JOB.
I work in government IT on a nation-wide project for security remediation. Everyone has at least 20 years of IT experience. We are completely separate from the national help desk and the local desktop teams. The local sites kept trying to draft us for special projects because we took up valuable office space and gave nothing in return that improves the site's reporting metric. Our value weren't realized until the sites started passing routine security inspections with little effort on their part.
Pray that you never find child pornography on a system.
A coworker did and reported it to the IT manager, whom informed HR and Security (rent-a-cops). The coworker and IT manager gave statements to Security, and were questioned on video tape by the staff attorney.
The IT manager and the security guard chief retrieved the system after hours. That was Tuesday. For the next three days, the user of that system freaked out, banged on doors, chased after the techs, and went pissing-and-moaning throughout the hallways in full view of the security cameras. The user got let go on Friday. The story never made the papers. Never heard if the case gone to court.
A college roommate of mine became a network technician for the FBI. He carries a gun when out in the field. Some people don't like the idea that a forensic analysis of their PC can and will be used against them in a court of law..
I tell people to call the help desk phone line so I can spend more time commenting on Slashdot while waiting for the real security work to roll downhill.
Nope, three years ago, you were breathlessly assuring everyone here that you were "studying for" the same security certifications.
Over the last three years I discovered that I don't learn the same way that I did 15 years ago when I got my first set of certifications (A+, Network+ and MCP W2K). Plus life tends to get in the way.
So Creimer, be honest: have you even cracked a single book?
I got three Security+ books and I'm using Transcender for online studying. Exam by end of summer. I also signed up for a ITIL course on Udemy, don't have a book yet, and plan to take that exam in December.
You could have gone back to college and earned a fucking Master's Degree in that time.
Uh, no. I would have to be reinstated into the university to get my BS degree. I'm not willing to take out student loans for a BS/MS degree that will be worthless on the day I graduate. Something that many people have been finding out after racking up $100K in student debt.
If I was to go back to school, it would be professional development courses at $1K per class to learn project management.

Well that's just it; nothing I've read from you is remotely brilliant, technical or otherwise.
This is Slashdot. You must be new around here.

video tape? When did this happen? 1987?
2012. It may have been a DV tape.

How do you get $120mn in funding for that?
Before the dot com bust, you needed a napkin and a pen to get funded.
Should all poor simply start a startup for some stupid app or other, by preference one that already exists?

How many seats do you take up on the express bus? Is it three, four, or five?
One seat. Or less than one seat if I'm sitting between two bigger people. No, I've never been required to buy an extra seat on an airplane.

I want to see exactly how far you'll contort yourself while trying to rationalize your bullshit and keep your delusions alive.
Except my delusions have a tendency to become real. Some just take longer than others.
Your bullshit reminds me of that line from Macbeth: "it is a tale. Told by an idiot, full of sound and fury, Signifying nothing."
I would have gone with "Nowhere Man" from the Beatles.
He's a real nowhere man
Sitting in his nowhere land
Making all his nowhere plans for nobody
