..Now, however, marshals are flashing their badges at the doors to 
private homes.
     "What this permitted was an intelligence operation as opposed to a 
mere seizure of copyrighted materials," argues Tom Kelly, an attorney 
representing ex-scientologist Lawrence Wollersheim, whose home in 
Boulder, Colo., was searched Aug. 22 by marshals, Scientologists and 
their attorneys.  "in these cases with ex-Scientologists, it's like 
having your sworn enemy go through your underwear drawer"
     Mr. Wollersheim ran the FACT-Net, a computer bulletin board devoted 
to disseminating information critical of the church.
     A federal judge in Denver later vacated the Wollersheim search order 
and forced the  church to return all his seized material -- which it did 
only after deleting some of the allegedly confidential information from 
the discs...

What I find interesting is that in case after case newspapers refer to 
the information as _allegedly_ confidential.
