Imagine a glass ceiling with a girl in a skirt standing on it\man in a kilt standing on it and you're standing under the ceiling someone tells you not to look up. Do you not lookup or at somepoint lookup ? - even if you did not mean to - via a mirror or some other third party method. The fact that you can means at somestage you may do what you were not supposed to see even if if you had no intention of doing so. Applying this analogy to Mr Rustons scenario they may be trusted and do it or they may have no intention of doing so - but have the interlect of a tibetian Yak and do it anyway. Another Guinness please......

Tell them not to? Seriously, if something is being put in place for a reason and it is explained to them, why would they want to go and work against it? Isn't the person implementing it someone in a position of authority to say "this is how we'll solve this problem"? As always... "there are seldom good technological solutions to behavioural problems". Given this is all hypothetical, and yet to be a problem, but you get what I am regurgitating here. My $0.02 inc GST. themolk.
