It's really quite a simple legal concept. Let me explain it in Kroger speak: you see, a laptop is a lot like a boat, and people don't have a reasonable expectation of privacy in a boat. Therefore, you can't have a reasonable expectation of privacy in your laptop. Another fair and balanced "reasoning" brought to you by the nonpartisan Justice Scalia.
You're making me wish this blog was devoted to bashing Kroger, who should really quit teaching law to go play Mr. Belding in Saved by the Bell on Broadway (I assume it's on Broadway)...
OK I discovered something crazy while looking for a photo of Kroger to link to . . . .
I take it back. Belding was way too nice. Kroger is more of a Beuhler-style principal.
