2. Does “The Electronic Communications Privacy Act of 1986 (part of the Omnibus Crime Control and Safe Streets Act, 18 USC sec. 2510 et seq.” apply and how specifically?
3. Pick a specific state and discuss how that state handles the issue of an employer monitoring its employees’ use of company computers, cell phones and emails?
4. Do employees have a reasonable expectation of privacy in, e.g., an email they might send at work? A website they might visit? How could your policy deal with this?
5. Be sure and make a distinction in your memo between government employees and private employees as to privacy rights.
