They found he was in the Phillippines, and left a note that a friend was taking care of the kids. They noticed 12 computers in the house, and it was in general disarray. They asked for consent to seize and search the computers, which the friend gave. Defendant found out about it and revoked consent before the search could occur. The Colonel in charge of the base authorized a military search warrant, and a civilian judge did too. While the issue was not super clear, granting Gates-deference to the Colonel, the military search warrant issuing authority, the search warrant was issued on probable cause. [The court also suggests in dicta that there was implied consent from being on a military base, but this paragraph is meaningless and wrong because case law is absolutely clear that a service member has a reasonable expectation of privacy in living quarters, especially a house.] <a href=\"http:\/\/www.ca9.uscourts.gov\/datastore\/opinions\/2011\/02\/07\/09-10396.pdf\">United States v.
