Maybe they did. Maybe the "search" is just covering the time it takes to run their cloning program. Let that fester ;-)

No. They did it in front of me and all they did was run a search for JPG and PNG images. Then they went through all of the pictures. They did not attach any hardware/cables to the computer and they did not connect it to a network.

That said, this was years ago. I have heard that they do try to clone the drive now.
