"Dave had some surprises up his sleeve as well. You'll remember that I 
said he was using a ThinkPad (running Windows!). I asked him about 
that, and he told us that many of the computer security folks back at 
FBI HQ use Macs running OS X, since those machines can do just about 
anything: run software for Mac, Unix, or Windows, using either a GUI or 
the command line. And they're secure out of the box. In the field, 
however, they don't have as much money to spend, so they have to 
stretch their dollars by buying WinTel-based hardware. Are you 
listening, Apple? The FBI wants to buy your stuff. Talk to them!

Dave also had a great quotation for us: "If you're a bad guy and you 
want to frustrate law enforcement, use a Mac." Basically, police and 
government agencies know what to do with seized Windows machines. They 
can recover whatever information they want, with tools that they've 
used countless times. The same holds true, but to a lesser degree, for 
Unix-based machines. But Macs evidently stymie most law enforcement 
personnel. They just don't know how to recover data on them. So what do 
they do? By and large, law enforcement personnel in American end up 
sending impounded Macs needing data recovery to the acknowledged North 
American Mac experts: the Royal Canadian Mounted Police. Evidently the 
Mounties have built up a knowledge and technique for Mac forensics that 
is second to none."
