Monitoring of computer use
Air Force

I worked for the AF for twenty years. I know of one person who abused phones, making long-lasting long-distance calls, normally from other peoples' phones. But he was a temp and disappeared after a year or so. Another guy did his local business on the phone. Did not see any sign of abuse of internet access among the hundreds of people I worked with. Computer abuse is not a real problem. What is a REAL problem, that seriously interferes with work and hampers productivity, is the AF's foolish effort to restrict access (by nerfarious omnipresent forces of evil) to personal computers and the overzealous monitoring (e.g., keystroke logging) of computer use. The AF is so eager to protect its assets (with or without the t), that they actually place so many restrictions on some systems that they are unusable and unused, transfer operations to another agency (NASA in my case), and then proudly proclaim that they have designed a secure system.
AF computing is sick and should be fixed.
Senseless Leadership!!!

When the FAA imposed the new "Nontract" in the fall of 06, we ATC's were not even allowed to go down one floor during our lunch break and get a sandwich "to go"! I guess we were so irresponsible that we couldn't be trusted outside the facility! Thankfully, I had my 36 yrs. in and could walk away from the nonsense that had begun to permiate the FAA under Marion Blakey! I genuinely feel bad for those that remain in the agency!
Trust me, LUNACY is not confined to the Air Force or any one entity of the government. Hang in there everybody!

As stupid and big-brotherish as it sounds, monitoring is necessary. We still find Airmen, officer and enlisted alike, who spend time on government computers utilizing pornography web sites. It is a problem, and like it or not, not everyone has the professional integrity to stay away from 'Pandora's box'.
