It's not a secret... I wonder if they READ the form they had to sign to get their network accounts set up?

Quoting from the above washington post link:

"The surveillance — detailed in e-mails and memos unearthed by six of the scientists and doctors, who filed a lawsuit against the FDA in U.S. District Court in Washington last week — took place over two years as the plaintiffs accessed their personal Gmail accounts from government computers."

How many of you feds out there are allowed to log in to personal e-mail accounts from your .gov domain computers? Call it a survey if you want. Maybe MY civil rights are being violated? I doubt it. Seriously, how many can log in to personal e-mail accounts from a .gov domain computer?
