There&#x27;s no <i>absolute</i> expectation of privacy on the laptop. There&#x27;s definitely a <i>reasonable</i> one, unless someone wants to argue that a layman independently verifying every bit of code and every silicon gate in it is &quot;reasonable&quot;.<p>Is there a reasonable expectation that my new car won&#x27;t explode when I turn the ignition, if I haven&#x27;t stripped and rebuilt it to verify every part?
