The Electronic Privacy at ABC Control Case: The notice of termination would arrive seemingly out of the blue. Suddenly and unexpectedly Barbara Hanley and Jim Sampson, who worked for ABC Control (a fictitious company), would be told that they had been terminated from the firm—Barbara for sending personal email from her company computer and Jim for spending too much time surfing the Web at recreational sites and downloading pornography.
