On Friday, several news stations, including MSNBC, CBS, and CNN, went inside the apartment of the San Bernardino shooters, and aired what they saw.
That included personal belongings, and very sensitive information, including social security cards:

However, it is unclear whether reporters entered the apartment illegally.

It’s likewise unclear whether the landlord even allowed the reporters to access the possible crime scene.
