You think you have it bad !
I work for a security service company and I have to wave my card twice just
to get to my cube! We're in the process of getting fingerprint readers for
our traveling users and smart card readers for every computer in the place
(you take your card out of the reader and your PC freezes). Our NOC has
multiple cameras on the operators too (glad I don't have that job!).
Non-standard network ports are locked down from *both* directions so no
instant messaging, passive ftp only etc.
But then again, it's kind of cool in a way....

Subject: Cameras in the Office.
Hi all...this is your friendly controversial topic starter Gel again.
:)
They are going to install Video Cameras on our floor in the office due to a
recent spate of theft at the company.
How do you folks feel about this?
Is it an invasion of privacy, or something that is understandable and
necessary in an office environment? They are doing this without informing
the staff as a whole what they are doing, they are just going to install
them and hten after the fact they'll probably mention..."Oh by the way..we
are installing cameras..".
They're also implementing swipe-card door lock thingies instead of the punch
code locks they have now, which is cool, for the IT Development floor.
I think they've just made up my mind about leaving or staying. I didn't even
know that we've had computers stolen etc. and that it was so bad.
I understand companies have to do something in terms of security etc. and
protecting their equipment, but surely there are other ways than camers int
he office? I don't know of any other firm that has Cameras IN the offices
trained at their employees.
