CEO of Flower Power INC

(I AM ONLY REQUIRED TO DO #4)

Fact pattern

You are the CEO of Flower Power, Inc., a fast growing chain of 100 florist shops based in the Southeastern United States.  The company opened for business 5 years ago with just 20 employees and now has over 1500 employees.
The company is now in the process of installing a new computer network, which will, for the first time, link all of the companys offices and locations.  The companys Chief Information Officer has approached you with a proposal to include a number of electronic surveillance features in the new network.

The proposed features include:

The ability of all MIS staff to view any employee emails at any time
The ability of all MIS staff to monitor what internet sites employees are viewing at any time
The ability of all MIS staff to shadow PCs of any employees, at any time, without the consent of those employees (shadowing allows a person, such as the MIS staff person, to monitor all a users activity on your PC from a remote location without the users knowledge)
If a PC or laptop is issued for an employees use away from the office for work use, all email and activities on that PC or laptop can be monitored as well
Cameras will be installed on PCs of every employee, allowing all MIS staff to monitor activities of every employee in their workspaces at any time
Your approval is needed to install this network and these features.
