Default Best Buy and Geek Squad computer privacy issues

What a surprise... Geek Squad employees have to spend at least 7.5 of their
8 hour day doing something halfway constructive. The last half hour they use
shining up the Volkswagen.

As far as I'm concerned any info on a computer that's taken to a repair shop
is open and fair game. It's the responsibility of the computer owner to back
up and delete sensitive data and totally their fault if they do not. How do
you think most folks get caught and serve jail time for illegal porn?

Apparently there is an issue with the Geek Squad at Best Buy viewing
personal files on computers. It seems that customers who have left their
personal computers to be serviced are concerned about unauthorized
viewing
of pictures, information and other files.
