Paper Summary:

This paper looks at the disciplinary actions available to the U.S. Government and the U.S. Military when federal employees or military personnel violate rules regarding authorized use of computers. The internet is cited as a major factor that encourages and enables the unauthorized use of computers. Two major military cases regarding the abuse of military computers are discussed and federal laws on computer crimes are explained.

From the Paper:

"The US Military and Government prohibits the unauthorized use of Government Unclassified/OSIS computers to surf prohibited sites, such as those containing sexually explicit material that may be deemed pornography. Typically the government randomly selects computers or users to monitor to maintain this law. However unauthorized use of computers is a problem within the government and military at large, at least as much of a problem as unauthorized computer use is for any employer in society. Federal employees who violate this prohibition are subject to a wide range of disciplinary action, up to and including dismissal."
