Gwaihir the Windlord writes "A university in Western Australia has started beta testing a tool that's described as "a random breath test" to scan computers for illicit images. According to this article it's a clean bootable linux environment. Since it doesn't write to the hard drive, the evidence is acceptable in court, at least in Australia anyway. They're also working on versions to search for financial documents in fraud squad cases, or to search for terrorist keywords.
Other than skimming off the dumb ones, does anyone really expect this to make a difference?"
