Packet sniffing your own network puts you in jeopardy as well. 2003-04-18

If you are looking for illicit traffic on your own network, and intercept a hacker you will be liable by the same laws. Heck any traffic that hits your firewall could fall in the same category of tapping. If you attempt to analyze or capture it for evidence you could go to jail. That?s insane. Lawyers must think security people are a slovenly bunch that do not have enough to do.
