Judges protest workplace surveillance

Privacy experts are cheering a revolt by some federal judges against workplace
monitoring.

But they say it will take more than just a protest to ensure that employers aren't snooping on
workers' electronic habits.

A few months ago, a group of federal workers--including some judges from the 9th Circuit Court
of Appeals--asked their staff to disable electronic monitoring software for a week, saying it was
unnecessarily invasive. As a result, a panel of influential judges will take a closer look at the
issue at the U.S. Judicial Conference meeting next month. The group has the power to decide
whether such electronic surveillance should take place among its workers, a spokeswoman for
the 9th Circuit said.
