Please!
Everybody knows the first rule of using the internet at work is don't look at porn or otherwise objectionable stuff! But child porn, which is illegal per se? He ought to be put in jail just for being a jackass.
A Montana man who used his work computer to access child pornography does not have a reasonable expectation of privacy that would bar a search of the machine, a U.S. federal appeals court ruled on Tuesday.
Jeffrey Ziegler had argued that his Fourth Amendment rights against unreasonable searches and seizures should prevent the government from using evidence that he had viewed many images of child pornography at work.
The U.S. 9th Circuit Court of Appeals based in San Francisco cited similar past cases and found that even if some people lament the lack of privacy at work, the law was against Ziegler.

He should be immediately fired, and the authorities notified. That's ther responsible thing to do. I got to report our gay receptionist the other day because his My Pictures folder was full of gay porn, which windows thoughtfully displayed to me in thumbnail view. I couldn't eat lunch that day.
