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.

Precisely my opinion. This story should be about how companies produce very weak products security wise and then offer them to the public knowing that anyone can easily evesdrop on the communications.

The public needs to wake up and realize that creating 1000000 new laws is not the answer to these issues. The public needs to demand companies create products that protect them... Not create more laws to make up for a companies silly products.

We need LESS laws not more. I bet it would take a citizen most of his life to sit down and read all the laws that apply to him.
