"Snoopervision" has always been a concern among U.S. workers. It's not uncommon for employees to complain periodically about "big brother" looking over their shoulder. With the advent of today's sophisticated monitoring technology, these complaints have grown louder and more frequent. Now, the issue of workplace privacy is spilling over into the courts. Wary supervisors had better start paying attention.
