Thursday Morning Riddle

I’m a desktop device, but may not be a Mac;
To sequester a prisoner safe from the pack;
When you choose careful words so as not to attack;
And a reason to search so arrests don’t come back.

Who am I?

UPDATE: Riddle solved by Asher. See comments for answer.

    PC Very tough one. Not thinking initials.

    PC is correct. Way to go, Asher!

    Initials are unusual for a riddle answer, but I know I’ve done it at least once before.

    I did try to stick to things that are actually referred to as “PC” as opposed to things or people who merely have those initials.

    Line 1: Personal Computer
    Line 2: Protective Custody
    Line 3: Political Correctness
    Line 4: Probable Cause

    Hi, Bill:

    I couldn’t find your email, so I’m posting here, though it has nothing to do with your riddle. Sorry about that…

    I’m a Shakespearean actor and educator who lives in California. I wanted to bring to your attention a TED talk I gave in October in which I share the importance of integrating acting into the teaching of Shakespeare. After all, the Bard wasn’t originally meant to be read, he was meant to be experienced. I hope you find the video interesting.

    The site can be found here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Kh3gMcOUFao&feature=youtu.be

    If you feel it’s appropriate, feel free to pass it along to anyone or post it on your website. My hope is that as many teachers see it and utilize some of the principles. Of course, I’d love to get your feedback.

    Thank you.

    Best regards,
