I hate to tell you, but that theory was disproven long ago.... 8^(
Most of the incidents I am aware of involve security folks who are concerned about preventing a potential problem (based on their experience) rather than reacting to a problem. However, that sort thinking runs counter to our current notions of privacy and jurisprudence.
Luckily, in those cases, there were other people watching the watchmen, so the overzealous usually got disciplined.
