Would-be whistleblower indicted for keyboard tap

A former claims adjuster for a U.S. insurance company is the first to be charged under federal wiretap law for the covert use of a hardware keystroke logger, after he was caught using the device while secretly helping consumer attorneys gather information to use against his own company.

It seems like he was over zealous in pursuing this matter. A reluctant snitch would have requested some sort of written CYA from the Dept. of Insurance. We definitely can't have citizens bugging others computers, no matter what the reason. If the government calls on a citizen for assistance, that citizen should make sure he or she knows exactly what is to be done.
