Forgive me, I am not experienced at this.

Why can't a filter between the internal network and the big bad internet strip out certain file types? Say: XLS, XLSX and XLTM?
Or why can't there be a warning: "You are about to send a spreadsheet outside GS. Spreadsheets can contain sensitive information. Are you sure the file is scrubbed clean of that sort of information?"
And be damn sure the employee knows what'll happen if they click "Yes, send" while they should have clicked "no, cancel".
They get fired. From a cannon. Into the sun.

My plasma gets burn-in if I pause my DVD player, let the screen on and go play wit the dog for 10 minutes.
The dark scenes get lighter lines in them.

Okay, if I run the screen repair feature (sliding lines of a white gradient to black) for half an hour or so the issue is gone. But screen burn in is a real issue with most plasma tv's

Do those burns have a rough surface and a lighter flame shape?
Then you may have different problems.
If the LCD has screen burn in of the other kind then it is heavily abused.

I once saw a plasma with "it is now safe to turn of your computer" burned in because it was left in that state for a weekend.

Your freedom to swing your fist wildly about ends at my face.

While I do not approve of the intrusive spying the NSA does there is a good reason to use laws to limit the constitution. You may have the right to bear arms and wear masks, that doesn't mean you should be allowed to walk into a bank with a few friends, all with masks on and AK-47's in your hands.
The world is made of area's of gray. Navigating those grey area's requires a lot of judgement calls. On a government scale you must cross that with incompetence and malice, for both will be present in your workforce. That means the way of the judgement calls is highly flawed.
