    Sounds all to familar, especially with people not locking their workstations. At a previous employer we had a security audit for anyone working on sensitive high level information and if you worked on the Ministry of Defence contracts, to which we where given a sonar to put on top of our monitors, so that if you moved so many inches away from your workstation it automatically locked the machine for you.

    That isn't really a bad idea for people working in highly sensitive environments. I usually remember to lock my workstation but sometimes I forget. What really got me to lock the machine was when someone put a gay sex scene as my wallpaper. Most of us IT people aren't easily offended but if someone would do that then the mind can run wild wondering what else they might do.

    Cheers
