She didn't tell him to be forthcoming about what's on his computer, she just told him to turn it over and not delete or alter anything related to the case. If they can't find what they're looking for, it's on them. ;)
Look back at the Sony rootkit article. After it was posted, he went back and said that after reading what others were saying and digging into it further, it appeared not to be as bad as originally portrayed.
There are other examples, that one was the most recent that I remember off the top of my head.

The same comments could have been made by someone at his place of employment when he informed them that he had been selected for jury duty and wouldn't be at work because of that. Where do you draw the line? Last time I checked, simply being on a jury wasn't supposed to be regarded as "Top Secret."

From a legal standpoint, the standard for a warrant (including the seizure of evidence or even putting an enterprise under government control) isn't "beyond a reasonable doubt" but rather "reasonable suspicion".
Ummm, no. The standard for a warrant is "probable cause." BIG difference.
You might want to read the 4th Amendment:
The right of the people to be secure in their persons, houses, papers, and effects, against unreasonable searches and seizures, shall not be violated, and no Warrants shall issue, but upon probable cause, supported by Oath or affirmation, and particularly describing the place to be searched, and the persons or things to be seized.
No, there is a distinction between a stop and a search. Reasonable suspicion is the standard for a stop, but probable cause is still necessary for a search (unless consent is given).
