It occurs to me that the company has a problem of a non technical nature - legal

perhaps. If you can't trust an employee not to leak confidential information, maybe
you ought to get rid of him? Or maybe he ought to get rid of a company that finds
it imperative to distrust it's employees?

There may be a way - I think I remember something about it - but I don't that's where the solution is.
