Send them up in December or January.  That way we can set them outside
overnight and then use them as curb stops until spring.  Seeing they are
from Texas, it shouldn't take more than a few minutes for them to turn
to popsicles.  Come spring we'll send them back ;^)

Although Identity Theft is making the news (I've been a victim; took me
months to clean my record) I think this premise could also apply to
corporate espionage, something most companies are dealing with on a
daily basis.  These same smart kids (as well as adults) are also seeking
ways to get into networks and cause damage.  

 

Both are examples of where records managers can get involved.  I've had
the opportunity to help my IT department develop policies and processes
to prevent unauthorized release of information, whether customer/client
files or corporate restricted data.  

 

If you organization has a committee that establishes policy on the
management of confidential information (whether individual or company)
get a seat at the table.  Create rules for employees to follow and
include these in the organization's Code of Conduct.  Establish
classification categories for records and include these in the retention
schedule so employees know which records should be protected.

I'd say a more painful punishment would be to send them to Kutztown, PA
(is there really a town named Kutztown?) or somewhere in North Dakota.
At least College Station has SOME form of nightlife.  And the big lights
of Houston (and Austin) are less than an hour away...
