Government website's "Consent Log-on Banner"

This Department of Defense site wins a double award. One, for the logo of a combat knife piercing the planet, and two, for the scary warning on the main page, which warns, "Use of this DoD computer system, authorized or unauthorized, constitutes consent to monitoring of this system. Unauthorized use may subject you to criminal prosecution. Evidence of unauthorized use collected during monitoring may be used for administrative, criminal, or other adverse action." I came across this site while researching an article. I wonder whether that constitutes "unauthorized use"? Link Discuss
