Cutting Security To Cut Costs?

just currious asks: "I work for a large company (10,000+ pc's) who recently out sourced the help desk. After looking at about a year's worth of data we find the 30% to 50% of the calls to the helpdesk are password related (password resets, password changes, etc.) this is alot of calls (at 20+ dollars a pop). Now they want to reduce cost by cutting security, since if you don't have a password, you can't forget it. So here's what upper management wants to do: remove the security from all of our Windows 2000 machines. Has anybody else seen security cut just to save money?"

Then you tell me:

1) What do you do when FBI comes knocking because someone hacked in to your computer and used it to hack nasa.gov?

2) What do you do when you find that your computer is being used as a childporn-ftp? What do you tell the police if they find out before you do? "But I didn't know that!"? They'll just answer "Yeah, sure.. Come here you little perv.."
