stirring the pot with a follow-up,  the EFF reports:

* A JUDGE HAS ORDERED POLICE TO RETURN A LAPTOP AND OTHER
PROPERTY SEIZED FROM A BOSTON COLLEGE COMPUTER SCIENCE
STUDENT'S DORM ROOM after finding there was no probable
cause to search the room in the first place. The police
were investigating whether the student sent hoax emails
about another student.

EFF and Boston law firm Fish and Richardson are
representing the computer science student, who was forced
to complete much of the final month of the semester without
his computer, phone, and network access in the wake of the
now-rejected search.
