Impressed by how confident everyone is about exactly what Roberts did & didn't do. I'm not smart enough to find it anything but murky.

@emptywheel They had already (overtly) seized his computers, so what justification would there be for keeping it under seal? -
@mattblaze Aside from preventing copy-cats with even more dubious intentions? -
@emptywheel Exactly. That's why I tweeted last night that I was surprised it's still not under seal.@mattblaze -
@PogoWasRight@emptywheel If I understand it, the affidavit was filed AFTER they had already (overtly) seized the equipment. -
@PogoWasRight@emptywheel ... so the usual justification for keeping under seal (preventing evidence destruction) wasn't there. -
@mattblaze Affy still doesn't explain whether UA just happened to notice his tweet or FBI monitored.@PogoWasRight -
@emptywheel@mattblaze@PogoWasRight Most big airlines & banks have "threat Intel" teams that watch social media & other OSINT sources. -
@chort0 Interestingly, one thing they're searching computer for was flight data.@mattblaze@PogoWasRight - 2 more replies

@emptywheel It doesn't even seem to have been originally filed under seal. -
@emptywheel Would he have the opportunity to challenge the order under these circumstances? Or is it all ex-parte? -
@mattblaze Presumably once they seized the devices. Wondering whether FBI/UA just didn't want to see his work.
