Of course, the same kind of argument can be proposed in any privacy issue. E.g., how are my local police to know if what I'm doing in the privacy of my home is a criminal act if they don't look? (I understand the difference between "my home" and my work space; it's just an illustration.) Personally, it's an issue between my employer and me. If I felt they were searching inappropriately, I'd resign. But that's a personal stand, not necessarily applicable to any others. The value of public discussions such as this is partly that employers can get a feel for what employees in general might think and how they'd react. If it works well, a balance is reached eventually.
