This is where I thought legal approval would be needed. As long as people
aren't added to the privatecomments group without being a member of the admin
or security group, there shouldn't be a legal issue. 

There are some bugs that are not in the Security product that have private
comments so people in the "security" group would now be able to see these
comments, but this is less of an issue to me.

I agree that admins are trusted, but if people are manually added to the
"privatecomments" group then they may need to be approved by Legal for the
reasons stated by Jarry above. Perhaps an email to admins letting them know
that they shouldn't add people to this group without legal approval would be a
good idea?
