Yup I saw the consumerist articles and I wrote up the Geek Squad (peep squad) article.
Basically our plan is to take a fully functioning computer (except for a slightly unplugged drive cable) to several local stores and see if they catch the problem. Kcal 9 did the same thing a few months ago with some interesting results. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Hxqx4hgeKgQ Thanks, Humphrey Cheung Senior Editor TGDaily.com _____ From: [email protected] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of Shawn Rogers Sent: Friday, May 18, 2007 10:04 AM To: [email protected] Subject: [SOCALWUG] Re: Geek Squad experiences Also for what its worth, consumerist.com has posted some of their internal training materials and stories from Geek Squad employees detailing the fall of the company after being merged with Best Buy. You've probably already seen those stories, but if not, check them out. _____ From: [email protected] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of Brendo Buenaluz Sent: Friday, May 18, 2007 10:00 AM To: [email protected] Subject: [SOCALWUG] Re: Geek Squad experiences i haven't had any experiences with them, and i imagine this group tends to do a lot of geek work themselves, but there was recently a news article or story about a geek squad member trying to video a client in the restroom with there cell phone. They realized what he was doing and arrested him, but now whenever i hear about them, all i remember is that story. I don't know if that issue is relevent, but it's all i got.

Im doing an investigative piece about them for TG Daily/Toms Hardware Guide. So far Im talking with more than 20 current and former agents, but all of them arent local to the area.
