You might find an article in todays's Washington Post interesting by
Brooke Masters. It describes how the FBI had a warrant to look for one
thing on a computer and found another.  It raises some interesting
questions in how searches will be conducted on electronic media in the
future, i.e. what is "in plain sight" with respect to electronic media.
