I would sort of expect, where I to take a laptop from someone with Top Secret clearance, guards defending that space would shoot me, and would have some justification in doing so. If I’m part of a mob, they don’t know if that laptop is headed to Al Quaeda, the Taliban, Russia, China, etc. Even if my intentions were pure and I intended to give it to Donald Trump or Al Gore or some other paragon of virtue, mob members aren’t known for their strict adherence to security protocols, and dangerous info could certainly fall into wrong hands. Or Ebay.
