Agreed. I've setup a PC for open browsing in breakrooms that automatically
dump search history and caching on guest logout or screensaver (can't
recall details on that - should find out how and publish).

Another set of wording on the sign could be "This system is only for
processing shipping labels". With the locks on it, that's all it can do
anyway so the staff will porn surf and shop elsewhere.

Every time you stop a school, you will have to build a jail. What you gain
at one end you lose at the other. It's like feeding a dog on his own tail.
It won't fatten the dog.
