Wait, a waste bin in the office? That's where I keep my secret stash of snacks. I mean, uh, important work documents. Yeah, that's it.

What about the waste bin in the employee's office? That's where I keep my snacks... I mean, important work documents.

I don't think so, company-issued devices are usually monitored by the employer.

The filing cabinet in the lobby? Come on, that's just asking to be rummaged through. Raj has no reasonable expectation of privacy there.

A company-issued tablet? That's company property, not Raj's personal space. He should expect no privacy there.

But what about the company-issued tablet computer? Wouldn't that also be private?

I'd say the waste bin in the employee's office is the most likely option. Who wants their boss snooping through their trash?

A backpack brought from home definitely has a reasonable expectation of privacy. Raj doesn't leave his personal belongings at the office.
