Feds: E-mail subpoena ruling hurts law enforcement
Kevin Poulsen, SecurityFocus 2004-03-05

A federal appeals court has declined to reverse last year's decision that the issuance of an egregiously overbroad subpoena for e-mail can qualify as a computer intrusion in violation of anti-hacking laws, despite an argument by the Justice Department that a side-effect of the ruling has already made it harder for law enforcement officials to obtain Americans' private e-mail.

With all the legal whackiness ( can a civilian issue a subpeona?? ) that is going on right now, I'm surprised SecurityFocus doesn't have a legal section yet. It would be nice to have access to an organized list of terms, rights and legal quirks.
