That said, this is such a bad policy that it will be defeated. People are going to do their jobs, in spite of policy- you are much more likely to be disciplined or fired for not doing your job than you are to be disciplined for not following policy (at least in almost every biz I've ever dealt with) This shows it isn't just us security types who ignore the realities of business when crafting policy. The dangers of e-discovery damage would have to be insanely high for this to be in the best interest of the company as a whole. But, we security types ask for dumb stuff all the time, too.
