I don't know, seems like a pretty proportionate response to someone coming into your store and installing what's effectively spyware on your machines.

Sure, no harm was done and it was in the name of art, but how would anyone making the decisions at Apple know that?

Why would the SS investigate this? Seems like a task for state police.

I was curious about this too:

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/United_States_Secret_Service#I...

Cyber investigations include cybercrime, network intrusions, identity theft, access device fraud, credit card fraud, and intellectual property crimes. […] The Secret Service has concurrent jurisdiction with the FBI over certain violations of federal computer crime laws. They have created 24 Electronic Crimes Task Forces (ECTFs) across the United States. These task forces are partnerships between the service, federal/state and local law enforcement, the private sector and academia aimed at combating technology-based crimes.
