From time to time, our users like to set up their own APs (with varying levels of security). As such, we do a wireless survey regularly and remove any APs that we haven't been notified of and set up ourselves. And, yes, the technicians who do that have master keys to the user's office doors, so a locked door won't stop them.
If they need a wireless network, we have installed a wireless network that works using the
Eduroam system*. They can do a lot of the stuff they might need to using that.
*For those who don't know, and can't be bothered to check the site, Eduroam is an international "network" of wireless networks. Basically if you are a student or staff member of a member of eduroam, you can go into any other member organisation and log on to their network using your log on id and password. So, I work at Greenwich Uni. Assuming I had reason to be there, I could go into a Uni in (say) Sweden, and log in there with my Greenwich account.
