dont see why this has gotten to such a big thread...

Employee = Company Asset
Laptop     = Company Asset
------------------------------
no violation or reasonable expectation of privacy
regarding said Company Asset laptop.

It is a company asset, period.
( just like the packets originating from Company network assets )

solution:
1. Call local FBI, aprise of situation.
2. take the laptop away.
3. suspend employee pending forensics.

( same as if if an Employee is suspected of 
using / doing illegal activity from the company car. 
While the Employee can take it home and use it for 
personal use, it is a Company asset and therfore enjoys 
no reasonable expectation from the protection of privacy. )
