Those cheap wireless video cameras hawked by annoying pop-up ads can be intercepted by anyone with a few hundred dollars and a voyeristic bent. There's no federal law against it, but there should be.

This is *exactly* the sort of knee-jerk response that leads to things like mandatory key-escrow systems.

Title III was and is a ridiculous government intrusion into all of our rights for the benefit of a few companies. Basically, they didn't want to have to go to the expense of adding voice scrambling to their cell phones, so instead they got the government to limit where the rest of us could listen on the public airwaves, and what kind of receiving equipment we could buy. Now you're pushing for the same kind of thing with video cameras. Why should the rest of us be burdened just so a few companies can make a device that's $5 cheaper?
