Actually, it is not much different than a user logging in on a terminal
and walking away without logging out.  Now anyone can walk by and have
access as someone they are not.  We have keyboard locks on our PC's here,
and users are to lock there keyboards when they are away from their
desks.  Otherwise, there really is very limited security.  As I view it,
there is little difference between a PC and a workstation or terminal, 
other than it being slightly quicker and slightly easier to do on a PC
what can still be done on the other.
