Computer security policy, taken open-source:

From discussion elsejournal:

My workplace has an official policy that if you are away from your desk more than momentarily, your workstation must be locked.

This is backed up with the unofficial policy that someone who abandons their workstation and leaves it logged in is subject to their desktop being repapered at their neighbors' discretion.

There are some very entertaining wallpaper choices that people have lined up for the moment someone slips up.

My old Air Force unit had green-screen dumb terminals for minicomputers. If you caught someone logged in--or managed to snag his password--you messed with him. Changing fonts was popular. Underlined blinking was tolerable. Hebrew was great.

I was standing in line behind my boss at Taco Bell as he paid. Password was on a yellow sticky in his wallet. It was weeks until he figured it out. Good times . . .

*nod* I think we'd get nailed to the wall if we tried that, though, since that would be a security violation on our end.
