Wed, 11 Feb 2009 20:00:00 EST

The manager controls use of the key and the equipment; if the employee leaves the company, or if the employee dies, the manager is responsible to get the key back or change the locks. But when the employee is instead driving a truckload of information down the information superhighway, handing out and retrieving the key can be more complicated.
