Precisely the question has to be:" At what point are we crossing the
line of common demency [...]
1. The use of keylogger in a company environment without employees
consent or judicial decree is ilegal and will bring your company in
serious problems
2. For that, your forensic "e-Trail" is nothing worth due the fact that
the information you received from the keystroking-logs does not comply
with legal reqirements in order to be accepted as evidence in a trial.
3. The time you afford for a general monitoring of all users keystroke
logs is wasted time and costs your company money
4. There are enough other ways to secure workstations properly

Those are good points.
I would recommend that you put in a keystroke logger program with the
written approval of your upper management on the PCs in question and
then download the logs each day. That way you are able to create a
forensics "e-Trail" that can be used to confront/counsel/etc. them. I
would also make sure that you look at your documenation and ensure that
each IT person has signed a document stating that they will not use
their abilities improperly. Combine those two and you have a means of
pursuing them legally.
