That is obviously a spurious argument. The factory floor analogy to hidden software on an office computer would be posting a sign at the entrance of the building saying the premises are monitored by camera and then planting hidden cameras in someone's work area to have a constant feed viewing them from every angle and talking to them about it later whenever they fail to act like the paradigm example of someone at work. For office workers, the foreman walking around the factory floor inspecting the work is more like someone going out to the public share drive and browsing files created in the course of the work day to see how the such and such presentation is coming or if there has been any progress on the so and so project or how many of some set of files someone has gone through by hand.

At best, it would be like the foreman coming to your work area and watching you all day long heckling your performance. That is clearly harassment. Now whether we pass laws prohibiting it or we just wait for the jackass that is doing that to get fired and/or the company that hires foremen like that to go out of business is another matter. (I favor the latter -- just because something is wrong doesn't mean the best way to handle it is to make it illegal.)

Which came first the cert or the credibility? Do the people that make the cert have the cert? How can they if it hasn't been made yet? But, how can you trust the cert if it was not made by a qualified person with a cert? Inasmuch as you think the cert is awesome, you should think the uncertified people that made it are awesome.

And, what did they do to become awesome? \\
