"leaving not only the juicy bits there for all to read but corporate hardware unattended and ripe for the picking." was indeed one of the threats I mentioned, and it happens all the time. It's relevant to at least part of the discussion. "Shoulder Surfing" is very low-tech. How often it's exploited for personal gain is anyone's guess. Is it really that hard to hit Windows-L when you have to step away for a moment? To lower your voice (or better yet, find a better time or place) before yelling your account numbers into that mobile phone of yours despite the fact that you're in a quiet coffee shop? To take one of the many open seats where your back is to a wall before you spent hours upon hours poring through corporate IP on that massive 18" laptop screen? Sure,it's a trade-off sometimes. It's not always quiet and the good "privacy friendly" seating isn't always available, and sometimes you forget to lock your screen but I see stuff that boggles my mind almost daily.
