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.

I don't understand how you can get into legal trouble for monitoring your own equipment. Just because a hacker connects to a computer under your control, means you can't monitor what he's doing? Why would he have any expectation of privacy / protection? It's your equipment!! You can do whatever you want with it! Unless its part of providing a legitimate service where there's an expectation of privacy this shouldn't even become an issue.
