I can only assume that you've got one guy high up the chain that's a wanker, micro-managing type. It seems crazy since I assume you're in a pretty heavily IT based shop. I suspect either he's the type (or was) that can't be trusted to work when he's not at work, or he's known about someone that double-dipped at some point in the past and thinks everyone is a risk for that.

It sucks to be in that sort of environment.
