I feel that these are feel good "solutions" that do not resolve anything. If the intent is spying on a company or organization such precautions would be greatly ineffective. For instance, even if you ban cameras the paid spy would probably bring something less suspicious such as a pen or button that contains a secret camera. Malware such as Stuxnet/DuQu/Flame (as well as many others) have proven to avoid detection for extended periods of time. Mind that these Malware have infected the actual work terminals themselves network-wide even through USB flash disks. Also mind that we only hear about espionage attempts that have failed to remain secret for one reason or another and perhaps many successful cases will forever remain a secret. One solution would be the elimination of computers entirely at a significant cost of productivity (and paper tends to be taken away from the office).
