I think it's mostly security theater without significant benefits. There are many parallels with the TSA here. It's not about ease of implementation as much as it's about employee trust. We shouldn't pretend that it doesn't also scoop up personal communications. Or you can say absolutely no personal communications using the computer you use for 8 hours a day if you're that type of person. Many SMBs survive without these measures, yet somehow they're sold as requirements by those with IT departments and the means. I hope "byopc" and remote work become more popular.
