New workplace security measures. Are they usual?

[<securityfocus () aldomedina com>]

In my new workplace, they recently implemented severe security measures:
security guards, video cams in every hall, they changed all the BIOS and
administrator passwords, protected the computers from case-opening, limited
all the Windows accounts. I assume this is fine (I don't know the Mexican
law about this).

However, they also installed a VNC server in every computer, and I'm
concerned because I believe they can fake any file, document or even email
as if I had wrote them. They should also be able to see everyone of my files
and communications, even the private ones. Am I alright? Is this usual in a
work environment? Is this legal in US or in Mexico?
