the point too, is that how to make sure that all the laptops
coming into and going out of the corp lan is "secure"
	- if people and plug it anytime and remove anytime,
	there's been many cases where their "important presentation"
	was never backed up ...

the whole point, is not permitting it, requires some paperwork
and some paper trails, and you're on notice, that will hopefully have
everybody playing by the same rules .. vs total chaos of stuff coming in
and leaving without "management" approval

x> Security = 1/Convenience  It's a hard balance

there's a missing fudgeFactor(1/convenience ) in the equation :-)
