More to the point, why didn't the original warrant specify what data they were looking for? Finding out what files exist on a server is technically easy.

If the authorities don't know what constitutes incriminating evidence it raises serious questions about why the warrant was issued in the first place.

The US government is willing to pay for the US clean team (maybe they are already on the payroll). They aren't willing to pay for Canadian experts.

Maybe they want to grab more data than they are allowed.

I don't think you'll find many Canadians that will gratuitously invade the privacy of others for the benefit for the US government.

Don't worry, we're just as crooked as Americans.

Customs won't clear the large quantity of Tim Horton's products required to do the job. :P
