A little rant

I've been waiting and waiting for a forensics equipment company to release evidence bags for digital evidence but I've yet to see it. I've searched, asked on mailing lists and still there isn't a single company that provides evidence bags for digital evidence. Seriously, digital evidence is mainstream now, and we should demand that suppliers provide us with evidence bags that allow us to provide an adquate description of the device contained within. In addition, when I bought my yearly supply last year not a single evidence bag was anti-static. I ended up buying anti-static bags from Uline and I stuff the evidence inside of them, seal the bag, then seal that bag inside of a generic evidence bag. So, vendors, if you ever read this blog or hear about it..provide us with proper equipment! The closest I've seen is from a company called SecurityBag

Other types of evidence have specific containers. Arson evidence is stored in metal cans, DNA swabs exist with caps to seal them, yet we can't properly identify our evidence on our bags.

This brings up another question I came up with recently, and maybe someone else has tried this already, but I wonder is the glue that holds together "tamper proof" bags succeptible to tampering? I think I'll have to sacrifice a few bags to testing.
