Are you expecting them to boot from a flash drive and snoop through files? That just doesn't seem a realistic expectation, nor even one I would want them to be doing.
- minikites 9y agoWould you consider paging through a paper notebook to be the same level of effort and/or privacy concern? I don't think paging through paper notebook is that far removed from going into the user's (probably only one) documents folder and looking for something like "hist301 final paper.doc" to find someone's name. If the paper notebook starts to look like a personal diary, you stop, in the same way you don't click on "company secrets.doc"
- oarsinsync 9y agoFlipping through a paper note book takes seconds. Given the timeframes, suspended laptops will have flat batteries. Timeframe is now several minutes just to find the charger, plug in and power on. One of these can occur simply by accident depending on how you pick it up. The other requires wilful actions. Levels of effort / concern for privacy are exponentially different.
