See, here's a slippery slope -  full disk encryption or data? And what data
was encrypted and what was not?
I also would have asked for the OS type and version as well as the
authentication - password (single factor) or
plus token (multiple factor).

But this is a good first start. The spokespersons for these agencies always
seem to say vague things like "analysis shows the data was not accessed",
"the data was encrypted", "the computer had a password" etc. This should
give us more accountability at least on the government side.
