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.

The same arguments are currently being mulled by lawyers and bureacrats about IDS and web filtering systems. The arguments are

pedantic and raised by people who have little understanding of culture or technology, and a limited appreciation for the law.

The law, like pretty much everything else, is subject to interpretation, and it is a question of whose interpretation matters most, not whether pedants can make absurd statements that are internally consistent with the letter of the law.
