SAN FRANCISCO--Using a honeypot to detect and surveil computer intruders might put you on the working end of federal wiretapping beef, or even get you sued by the next hacker that sticks his nose in the trap, a Justice Department attorney warned Wednesday.

It really scares me when I think of all the laws out there that are only used to protect lawbreakers. I remember when people used to get sued because they set a booby trap on their house and then some poor innocent catburglar got hurt by their booby trap. I just don't get it. This whole arguement is frightening. What ever happened to the judge saying "pal, you knew you weren't supposed to be hacking. Anything they did to catch you doing it is just fine... go away"?
