Completely stupid!!!!!

When a hackern penetrate a network, he risks prison. The purpose of a honeypot is to try to protect an organisation's network.

Soon, configure a firewall is going to be illegal. Indeed, a firewall intercepts communications between to networks and filters packets!!!

American justice is really stupid!
