isn't that what IT departments are for?

Well, we,as the IT department, were working on setting up a new laptop for an employee. Part of the procedure was to transfer files from the old laptop to the new one. Some of the files were really gross. Finally, the boss said that the co-worker who was assigned to that laptop had to call Corporate Security to view the rest of the stuff to look for child porn.

Corporate Security would have had to call the FBI if they had found anything that looked like it might be kiddie porn. So, the Corporate Security dude had to wade thru tons of porn. The boss called the employee's manager to explain that the employee would not be getting his new laptop the next day, as promised, and WHY there was a delay. After the Corprate Security dude finished with the laptop (no kiddie porn was found) my co-worker transferred the data (sans porn) to the new laptop and it went out a day late.

How would you like to be the manager who now has to have a chat with an employee about what is and is not appropriate to be stored on a company owned computer?
