63% Of Corporations Plan To Read Outbound Email
John writes "Aviran's place reports that a recent survey of 332 technology decision-makers at large U.S. companies reveals that more than 63% of corporations with 1,000 or more employees either employ or plan to hire workers to read outbound email, due to growing concern over sensitive information leaving the enterprise through email."
Who do they hire to read the outgoing emails of the people they hired to read outgoing emails?
This is so far ahead of it's time I just don't know what to say...
I can't send more than maybe one or two MB of data through my email.
But I can easily shove a 1GB USB stick up my ass and walk out past the guards.
And what if I type my email without thinking? You know, like I do for slashdot my comments.

Really. This wouldn't affect me in any way, because I never use work time for personal business, and I like my boss! He's so clever and intelligent.
A recent survey of 332 technology decision-makers at large u.s. companies reveals a growing concern over sensitive information leaving the enterprise through email and through USB memory sticks hidden in their employees ass.
In its 2005 study on outbound email security and content issues, email security vendor and ass searching expert Proofpoint found that more than 63% of corporations with 1,000 or more employees either employ or plan to hire workers to read outbound email and search their employees ass when they arrive and leave from work.

Might as well go all PsyOps on their corporate asses then.
Have some outside dummy accounts you can send email to. Send messages full of glowing comments re: boss & company, and others that refer to a mysterious dark conspiracy that haunts your past. Something involving genetic experimentation, a mad European scientist, and a mysterious Brazilian clinic.
Then the week before you quit, start sending mysterious messages encoded in pig-Latin.
