*Possible* Terror Thing - Ideas?

[platypus]

Now, I hate all the jumping on the bandwagon that goes on with terrorism these days, and I'm loathed to do it myself.

However, and without going into too much detail, a colleague at work was connected to a customers site remotely, and saw some slightly suspicious stuff in internet explorer. Now he closed the browser before looking around much and as such could have completely the wrong idea. He wants to download the browser history and cache and have a look through to see if its an actual problem, but I've told him not to do it because it's virtual snooping, and I hate the idea of the orwellian society where we all report on each others slightly suspicious behaviour - after all you can browse plenty of sites that are dodgy but don't actually make you a subversive.

What would you?

Even if you found something you could still lose your job for the snooping. I wouldn't bother as chances are it's nothing.

Well no I couldn't lose my job, but it's not me that wants to investigate it further. I've told him to leave it alone as it's probably nothing.

Aye, left his child porn on his hard disk for PCWorld staff to find.

Can you be a little more specific about "slightly suspicious stuff? I understand the need to keep things secret here, but just a rough idea...?

Well ok, it was a website entilted "<Something> Terrorism University" (I didn't see it for long so can't remember all of it) with some pictures of fundamentalists in masks doing the 'wave your gun in the air' thing.

Could have been reading a link from a news article for all we know. I wouldn't jump to conclusions that one of your clients is interested in terrorising you with weapons.

Well exactly, which is why I'm not bothered about pursuing it any further. And am in fact telling my colleague to just forget about it.
