re: Phone pass code.

That's a good point, and I'd be curious to learn how the conversation arose to begin with. But if I had to come up with an answer to that, I'm thinking of my own situation in this regard....my wife and I naturally know what any of our pass codes would be. I may not know exactly what the pass code is for a particular account or device, but once she told me it would immediately be familiar. He may have had to unlock her phone and realized it wasn't one of their "usual" codes, thus perhaps she was forced into a position to explain.

A random passcode suddenly appearing for something as engrained in your everyday life as one's cell phone would immediately be a red flag for me. I say red flag....perhaps "cause for inquiry" is a better way to say it. But I will acknowledge that my particular choice of career forces me to think constantly about the more sinister and negative aspects of peoples' lives.....so maybe I could stand to be a little less skeptical and cynical.

But this still stinks to me, just gut feeling.
