F.D.A. Surveillance of Scientists Spread to Outside Critics

It seems to me somewhat naive to expect in these conflict scenarios no recording/spying on devices that are owned by the employer.

But I am wondering based on this case: How does "corporate" America regulate the use of private communication devices in general? Are employees who work on non-secretive areas generally allowed to bring personal communication devices into the office (how about a smartphone? a tablet? or a netbook?).

or bring kit, leave it in the bag/car pop out to a wifi connected cafe at lunchtime or in the evening after work? I was wondering that as well.

UK: Regulation of Investigative Powers Act and European Privacy Directive might need to be read carefully but I'm pretty sure e-mails of this nature would be private.
