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. There are several policies currently in set as law and statute by the federal government that strictly prohibit the unauthorized use of government computers. Military personnel who use official computers to access prohibited sites are also subject to a wide range of disciplinary action, including court Marshall under the Uniform Code of Military Justice."
