Surely it has to be actual evidence before you "tamper" with it.

If I delete a file on my computer today that would be potentially "evidence" if seized, and the police come knocking tomorrow, I haven't committed a crime by using my personal computer in the past.

I do not suggest that you test this theory. Your optimism seems wholly unwarranted here, knowing what we know about the federal prosecutors.
