well, if the customer provides them the bitlocker key, then they can access and manipulate the data on the drive, if not, they're fucked
I've supported bitlocker in corporate deployments. I have also spent some time in independent repair shops. I have little confidence in users to supply a bitlocker key, let alone even know what one is. I anticipate a lot of "what? I already gave you my password."
lol yes
