Traditionally management of physical security has often been left to facilities or office managers. 'Social engineering' where unauthorised people gain entry into buildings by pretending to be an employee or contractor and then gain access to a PC, stealing or damaging corporate data from inside a company, has brought the issue to the attention of sys admins. Now many sys admins now want a say in tackling the problem.

ffs - "I can't figure out how to make my systems secure so we should ban people from using the PCs !"
I'll hire myself out as a security consultant and 'secure' every PC with a mallet.
I just didn't like things like Geoff Beattie (off Big Brother) trying to teach me that schizophrenia was caused by dodgy relationships with your mother.
I would agree actually, the whole point about security is it applies to all staff throughout the company, that includes the admins themselves and the ceo, no matter how much he rants and raves. (been there).
