Apart from that, my verdict is 'show us the code'.

On: One-Third of Employees Violate Company IT Policies

Couldn't agree more. As part of a development team that works in the same room as the IT team, I sometimes think about what they are doing on a daily basis, and the rules they enforce for the rest of us mere mortals seem completely pointless.

I often need third-party libraries when I'm developing my software so I just get them off the Internet (sometimes virus checking them if I remember). If I followed the rules to the letter, I wouldn't download the libraries. But I don't follow them, so by using this software that nobody is "approving" I'm breaking the rules.

But when did our security manager review the source code for Windows XP to make sure it's OK?

Same with spam

It's exactly the same with spam. SpamAssassin is a great tool for ensuring that your unsolicited commercial e-mail doesn't get flagged as spam.
