I really wish people would ask their Personnel and/or Legal departments before
posting stuff like this.  If you keep personal stuff in/on company property,
then (*unless* you've been led to believe otherwise) it is *not* private.  This
has been held up on many occasions in court, and makes perfect sense, at least
to me.  I don't see how this can be construed as an invasion of privacy.
That's what *personal* property is for (*your* personal property, now someone
else's).
