As a computer geek / enthusiast I have never considered bringing my computer into a shop.
But I am not surprised by the study. I wonder what type of shops they choose for the study? Are they those mom and pop shops? Small chain shops basically owned by sole proprietors? Shops like those I can easily see the bored technician snooping into your stuff.
Shops like Geek Squad (Best Buy) I'm hoping that they have much stricter policies in place to stop these immoral practices. Being big corp, they must know the legal ramifications plus the huge bad press if their bored techies snoop into personal files / pics.
I have ummmm snooped into laptops that were thrown away and it's surprising how much personal stuff you can find. A lot of them contained undeleted porn lol.
