Your example certainly is shocking and I'd be surprised if a few heads didn't roll in the ensuing melee. I could imagine security phoning each computer lab on campus and asking the lab assistants/monitors to check if the individual was present but this seems to me a flagrant misuse of resources.

As for the public computer idea. Who is to say that our spies (Computer Center) won't be keeping a paper log of who is using which machine at any given time ;-)

I've noticed this is an attitude where Australians do differ from Americans. Like coreolyn says, we knew we are being monitored, we just trust (and hope) that people aren't abusing the system too much. We really go to town on people who break the trust though.
