I'll buy that "no expectation of privacy" is not accurate, but can't you line most "company property" abuse policies to a broader policy that's in the company interest - for example, using email for personal use is more an issue of not wasting work time on personal affairs (e.g., not getting your work done) than it is a computer issue. I've always maintained that the "inappropriate web sites" clause in most internet use policies is enforcable from the sexual harassment policy alone, regardless of where you have an internet use policy or not. It's no different than not allowing employees to have skin magazines in their lockers.
