Remote Desktop...

It all seems pretty pointless, if they have hunch/tip off maybe i.e. directed, but spending vast amounts on this is a waste of time, because people (that need to) will just learn to work round it. Soon the only thing they'll be catching is the low hanging clueless fruit.

Just take a new USB Live version of Linux with you, (or create it when you arrive) if you know you'll have access to a PC when you get there, keeps everything separate. What's to stop anyone using RDC to display the screen of another device with access to all their data, i.e. a PC on your work/home network via a secure VPN / Cisco Router for security. It's not even cloud based then and they'll certainly need a warrant.
