My comment: It is about "work" computers. An employer can do whatever they
want with his properties.

Quote:

"When President Gerald Ford appointed Representative [Robert R] Casey to
head the Federal Maritime Commission, Paul won an April 1976 special
election to fill the empty seat. Paul lost some months later in the general
election, to Democrat Robert Gammage, by fewer than 300 votes (0.2%), but
defeated Gammage in a 1978 rematch, and was reelected in 1980 and 1982.

"In 1984, Paul chose to run for the U.S. Senate instead of re-election to
the House, but lost the Republican primary to Phil Gramm. He returned to
full-time medical practice and was succeeded by former state representative
Tom DeLay.

"In 1996, Paul was re-elected to Congress
