in the 1990's about twice a year, where I worked, some "genius" would be caught with child pornography on his government owned computer at work.

Yikes, even ignoring the moral/legal issue of child porn, storing it on your government owned.... and monitored computer is just not a good idea.

When I was first issued my government account, we had to go to a separate building where the account manager pointed out all the mainframe computers and all the personnel whose sole job was to monitor what was happening on their government computers.

Yeah, they WILL catch you.

Crikey. The bad news is that people are dumb; the good news is that dumb people are easier to catch.
