Keystroke Loggers in all new Laptops!? (Part2)

Question and Answer, for two computer technicians, about what they know about the possible keystroke loggers in new laptops.

Question: I’ve heard that all new laptops have a hardware keystroke logger in them that was mandated by Homeland Security. Is that true with the Voodoo laptops?

Answer from Lance at Voodoo.com: "We are a Canadian company so we do not have any keystroke loggers in our laptops dictated by Homeland Security."

Question: There have been concerns about privacy on laptops and I heard the following: All new laptops have a hardware keystroke logger in them to help tech support. Is this true with gateway laptops?

Answer from Courtney at Gateway.com: Courtney would not give a direct answer "Our laptops come with anti theft on it", but gave no specifics.

What I learned from my conversations is that if these keystroke devices are being implanted in laptops, the technicians are not being made aware of it. I’m still trying to locate a new laptop that I can dismantle and take a look for my self.
