I know it seems like fantasy but stay with me. Just imagine some national law enforcement agency had custody of this physical thing from the moment this computer shop guy reported it. It would have to be one of those few law agencies that the left trusts with childlike faith...maybe the CIA, NSA, or FBI. Imagine this totally trustworthy agency could dispel all your concerns with a simple accounting of what they have held in their own hands for years and years. Nirvana!
