Still, when you have a security policy, you have to stick  to it.  You can't
easily decide what the real threat is and what is not, so it's better to be
hig-strung I think than laid-back.  If I know someone is going through my
garbage, even if it's just junk, I'd still consider it an invasion of
privacy...same goes for this situation.
