Its obvious that the chance of ever finding suspiscous data is significantly low, howver it provides a great front for a good way to search a device that, given its mobility, most likely has connectivity or internet capability. Most people know about the ominous "big brother" rumors, yet this random scanning can provide a great way for the system to show how it "actually" gets its information. Arrest a suspect here, throw a few threads in the news there, all with reference of how a middle class working american found plans to destory the american dream on a palm pilot at LAX, when the REAL data comes from network intrusions, snooping software, and Virtual Private networks that the government can scan at will from miles away.
