The latter I believe.

Yeah, but apparently the management have the IT department in their 
pockets because of supposed impending redundancies or something. 
Anyway, they aren't trusted and I've been told to assume they are 
complicit.  That complicates things.

However, what with it being a council I'd expect most of the IT 
department to be MCSE monkeys who wouldn't know network security if it 
danced around them naked carrying a sign saying 'I am network security'. 
  :)  I could be wrong there though, and I'd like to be as sure as I can 
be that I have made it as difficult as I can for the spying to take place.

I'm expecting to find Desktop Scout or somesuch software on the 
machines.  I might go armed with an evaluation copy of PestPatrol.
