You bet! .. as it pertains to anything past their demarc at their 
properties, they're entirely free to log and review every packet that 
comes/goes.

That means they can legally review your IM chats, go back and read your 
email from a month ago, whatever ...

The legal precedent for this is essentially "He who onws the network, 
owns the data" (with respect to an employee/employeer relationship). 
It's a bit different for commercial ISPs.

If your mom works at Kohls, don't email her there unless you want it 
read (unless you PGP/gnuPG it). Then again, they could just have Spector 
installed on the PC to capture screenshots/keystrokes of her at her 
"company computer" (also completely legal).
