Yes. Sometimes it is a checkbox in the client configuration that the user can 
change if sufficiently cognizant.

Pervasive encryption is pervasively too transparent.  Do similar concerns apply 
to
FTP, IND$FILE, VPN, VNC, IEBGENER to an unencrypted data set, ...  The
assumption is that a trusted person via a secure connection does no harm.

My employer's VPN disabled all other network connections (is this typical?)
An irritant to employees who had to disconnect VPN to use their home network
printers.  But I could VPN from a Linux guest while the host remained connected 
to the Internet.

Portable storage devices?  Photographs of terminal screens?  Body cavity
searches at the security perimeter?

A pair of co-workers swapped music CDs.  One was stopped carrying out a
cardboard box of CDs.  The rule was that boxes were searched; bags were
exempt.  Someone suggested putting the box in a paper bag.
