What load of BS. I don&#x27;t see how my agreement to their policy should provide them with immunity to what would otherwise be criminal. e.g. That it&#x27;s criminal to steal from my employer should not mean that if they suspect an employee is stealing from them they can without repercussion steal-back.<p>Likewise they may have certain legal rights if an employee violates their computer-usage policy -- but that shouldn&#x27;t give them the right to violate the CFAA.<p>Checking whether an employee &quot;completing their professional tasks&quot; and reading their private correspondence are very different things. How is this any different (aside from prefixing the word computer) then if you had personal letters on your desk and a manager confiscated them from you (and read them) - in order to &quot;confirm&quot; that you were using &quot;completing their professional tasks&quot;.
