As in my first post:
Our Internet security policy states that you are not allowed to have any device connected to our internal network and another network simultaneously. It also states that no non-corporate-owned or managed device can connect to our internal network.

It doesn't really state anything about countermeasures, other than "blah blah subject to punishment up to and including termination and possibly prosecution"...
So the only 'security' breach that i see (maybe someone else can see more) is, that if a user uses a USB stick to copy files from his cubicle PC and copies them on to his laptop, the files are as safe as the user's private laptop.

In any event, if thats not the case... then its a productivity issue since they seem to need to bring in their own 'internet' to go online. I presume that using the net from the company PCs' is no fun? Locked down etc?

However.. what makes "YOU" think there is a security issue involved? Am I missing something maybe?

Cheers.
