Remember though, it's not the FBI that took the computer. It was the Malaysian police. They asked the FBI to see if they could reconstruct the deleted files to find out what he deleted.
The problem here is the Malaysian officials. They're repeatedly talked as if they're gifting the public information because it's normally not released "due to national security". I've read several NTSB and at least one Boeing rep state that they're certain the Malaysians know more than they're giving them. Note that it was the US that released the first real timeline showing the 14 MINUTE difference between the ACARS going offline and the transponder and that the transponder went offline AFTER the flight left Malaysian airspace. The Malaysians have been obstructing this investigation from the get-go and it's really getting old fast. Hopefully the US or someone will put some real pressure on the Malaysians to spill the beans soon because they're doing nothing but making themselves look worse and worse.
