    Sure. Unless law enforcement takes it, in which case they have all the time in the world.

      Yup, but they’re probably as likely to beat you up to get your passwords.

        No way! Even the evil ones will try to avoid jail.

        Meanwhile they might have a friggin budget for the GrayKey, the Stingray

        Definitely believe rights are more likely to be violated when they can just plug in or power on without getting their gloves dirty.

      It still requires user level access, which means they have to bypass my login password first, which would give them most of that anyways.

      Am I missing something?

          Yes, if you install malware it can be malware.

          This specifically was in response to a claim about the police taking your laptop despite the fact that it doesn’t appear to enhance their ability to do anything with possession of your laptop until they are able to bypass a password.
