Feds, Please Return My Personal Files Stored at MegaUpload

If your car is found full of drugs, they will also impound it and inconvenience the other possibly innocent passengers.

While we're coming up with analogies, this seems more like impounding all the other cars in a public parking lot because a percentage of them had drugs.

If they find a body in a storage facility, they will probably deny everyone else access to the facility until they have gathered all the evidence they need.

Shutting down MegaUpload isn't to "gather evidence", it's a punitive, open-ended action.

But if you knew 60% of the cars had drugs, and knew the parking attendants were mixing in drug and non-drug bearing cars to hide the cars with drugs, then I suspect you could get a warrant from a judge.

Yea. Stretching the metaphor.
