There's an excellent book (available for free reading on-line) called
the "Hacker Crackdown" which I'm just finishing.
If it is to be believed, when they do a computer crime
raid, they seize EVERYTHING that's even remotely
computer-like, including mousepads, calculators,
tape players, music CDs and vinyl records (maybe they're
data media cleverly disguised as music or cassettes!), and
probably that box of cookies with a picture of a computer
on the side too. I heard one raid was particularly hard on
Jelly Bellies...

It is true. a gal I know who used to live in Florida was busted for putting
nude pictures of herself up on the internet, seems that a local law
enforcement officer took it upon himself to subscribe to her site under an
assumed name and download the "offensive" pictures of her. when they raided
her house, they took her computers, calculators, digital camera, her kids
computers, electronic toys, etc..... what a wonderful world we live in :(
