Counter evidence: the protesters were saying that they saw computers unlocked with email still open.

  Uhh yeah, probably because the congresspeople were evacuated in a hurry because there was an angry mob storming their building?

    At least where I work, we're required to configure computers to lock after 10 minutes of inactivity.

      Sadly 10 minutes probably not enough time in this case if they had that security feature on.

      Unless the user decides to leave Windows Media Player playing in the background in a loop to circumvent the lock.

    I was providing counter evidence to: > I've also heard that the congressional paging system locks devices when an emergency is announced If computers locked automatically when an emergency is announced, it doesn't matter if the staffers evacuated quickly.

    It takes less than one second to press Windows+L. Certainly they could have accomplished that as they got up from their seats.

      I mean, sure, they had time. But clarity of mind during an evacuation is something I imagine is _hard_ for most people. Definitely would be for me.
