Here's more fuel for the fire then :)
Most "espionage" problems are inside jobs. What's to prevent someone from
walking into the environment and running a sniffer on the network, or running
a dictionary attack against the password file. Nah, firewalls are not a
security panacea. They keep the bad guys out (to a point) via network access,
but if they can walk into the courthouse and get the password file, you're
done fer if the passwords are easy to use.
