Most people struggle with the idea of installing an OS let alone a portable OS that can be moved from one machine to another. I doubt the CBC has any Linux nerds outside of the IT department.

Also, even mounting a drive as RO can leave traces. In a forensics lab special devices are used to read drives while stoping any changes from being made to a disk in order to not disturb evidence.
