In case you still had any doubts about whether or Inexperienced Experience Of The Summer (2015)not you should be covering your laptop's webcam, the director of the FBI has now weighed in on the mater.

“There’s some sensible things you should be doing, and that’s one of them,” Comey said Wednesday, according to The Hill, notingthat it's a common practice among government officials.
“You do that so that people who don’t have authority don’t look at you. I think that’s a good thing.”
Though the habit may seem paranoid to some, it's fairly common practice in Silicon Valley and security experts have long recommended the measure. Earlier this year, a photo showed that Facebook CEO Mark Zuckerberg covers both his webcam and his microphone with tape.
Still, many have noted the irony in Comey advocating a measure intended to help protect people's privacy. The FBI director has spoken out against encryption in favor of greater access to user data.
