Have you heard of the Computer Misuse Act, Privacy (under European Human
Rights) or the Data Protection Act?
I think that tall three of these apply when it comes to what system admins
can and can't look at on a system.
That is why the icon is there (apart from to provide decent functionality).
Can you imagine the implications if system admins were allowed to spy on
users at will without any sort of safeguards? I'm sure your personnel
department wouldn't be too happy if they were typing confidential documents
about employees if they knew they could be spied on.
IMHO I think that the icon should stay and that any versions that have been
recompiled to remove the icon should be condemned by ATT. I'm sure they
wouldn't want the backlash if a spying case ever made it to court...
