When Art, Apple and the Secret Service Collide: ‘People Staring at 
Computers’.

By Kyle McDonald


I really wasn’t expecting the Secret Service.

Maybe an email, or a phone call from Apple. Instead, my first indication 
that something was “wrong” was a real-life visit from the organization 
best known for protecting the President of the United States of America.

They rang the doorbell a few times. It woke me up, and I tried to ignore 
it. There were always kids playing with the doorbells in our apartment 
building. But the kids don’t normally shout, “this is the Secret 
Service, open the door,” so I took that as my cue to get out of bed.

I cracked the door open a few inches, and an agent was already leaning 
into the frame. He explained that he was from the Electronic Crimes Task 
Force, and that they had a search warrant. Under different circumstances 
it could have been quite cinematic, but it was an incredibly hot summer 
morning in Brooklyn. I was tired, and wearing only gym shorts. I saw the 
two agents behind him look me up and down, and they relaxed.
