Describe the consequences of their actions in terms of 'power of goods/equipment seizure'?IMPORTANT NOTE - Relate the consequences to a student...

If you are referring about the consequences that IT
workers could face when taking away or breaking into someone else's lent or loaned
computer, then the consequences could be quite
harsh.


First, an IT worker is known for having the tools to
access someone else's equipment, where a lot of privileged information is kept. By
privileged information, we mean "private". Anything that is kept private by a person is
not to be accessed under any circumstance by anyone else, as it is stated in the
underlying moral codes that exist in our Bill of Rights and our
Constitution.


Second, the only way anyone in IT is allowed
to access people's private information in computers is with an order that warrants that
the investigation is in place, legal, and should
proceed.


Third, should an IT worker still crack into the
private information of another citizen, the citizen has every right to not only sue the
IT worker, but also to have the employer of the IT worker revoke his IT rights and
permissions, and advise other employers to refuse employment to the hacking
individual.


In a world in which codes and encryptions are
now the norm, special care has to be placed in regulating the rights of those who have
the power to decipher them.


As far as high school IT
students, their access to information and the way that they can obtain it might result
in a lot of temptation on their part to try and get to it. However, the consequences are
quite harsh. Most school district maintain a very strong policy against sharing
passwords, hacking accounts, accessing other people's e-mail inboxes, and/or spreading
hate mail via blogs and such. Consequences include termination of Internet access,
suspension, removal of computer equipment such as laptops, locking their school
accounts, detention, limitations of Internet access and even expulsion if the actions
were meant maliciously and breaking every code of Netiquette for which the students are
supposed to sign to comply.

The crisis of a drama usually proceeds and leads to the climax.  In Shakespeare's Hamlet , the proof that Claudius is guilty...
