No, it is not wise. It is unethical for sysadmins to access this data without a specific reason and approval. If you cannot trust your sysadmins to act in an ethical fashion, YOU have screwed up big-time. YOU hire trustworthy people. YOU train trustworthy people. Locking-down SELinux does not stop unethical sysadmins. It will just take a little longer to breach your ill-advised & INSULTING security. Once the unethical sysadmin that YOU hired breaks in, she will be (rightly) pissed and really screw things up. If you don't trust YOUR sysadmins, either quit (the preferred solution) or fire the sysadmins. Doesn't anybody think it is essential to hire TRUSTWORTHY people any more? Doesn't ANY employer think it is essential to RESPECT their employee any more? These are two reasons that businesses in the U.S.A. suck big time!
I have to say, I certainly do agree with you. I was thinking the exact same thing, but didn't want to turn this thread into a flame war. Personally, it's a lack of respect on both sides that cause trouble. Not respecting and trusting your admins leads to them acting like children.
Remember being told, as a kid, 'don't do this' (whatever it was) and the one and only thought on your mind is 'I HAVE to do that'? Every child gets that way. Not trusting your admins gets the same result. (IMHO)
I don't think we need to make this a long, drawn out thread on ethics, I only asked if that was wise simply because I think it's not and wanted to hear what others say.
