Interesting bit at the very end:<p>&quot;As agents were about to begin the search, Ms. Morgan and Mr. Lichtenstein said they would leave their apartment, but wanted to take their cat, the filing says. The agents allowed Ms. Morgan to retrieve the cat, which was hiding under the bed.<p>But as Ms. Morgan crouched by the bed and called to the cat, she positioned herself next to a night stand that held one of her cellphones, the filing says. She then reached up and grabbed the phone, and repeatedly hit the lock button in what prosecutors say was an apparent effort to make it harder for investigators to search the phone’s contents.<p>The agents had to wrest the phone from Ms. Morgan’s hands. Court records provided no further information about the cat.&quot;<p>Do you think she was trying a hard reset or something?
