dont see why this has gotten to such a big thread...
Employee = Company Asset
Laptop = Company Asset
------------------------------
no violation or reasonable expectation of privacy
regarding said Company Asset laptop.
It is a company asset, period.
( just like the packets originating from Company network assets )
solution:
1. Call local FBI, aprise of situation.
2. take the laptop away.
3. suspend employee pending forensics.
( same as if if an Employee is suspected of
using / doing illegal activity from the company car.
While the Employee can take it home and use it for
personal use, it is a Company asset and therfore enjoys
no reasonable expectation from the protection of privacy. )
