Hmmm...I have to ask myself if someone who is trespassing and stealing your bandwidth has a reasonable expectation of privacy? I can see where there would be a problem if you were an ISP and were spying on your customers without their knowledge, but does someone who is breaking the law (I don't think you need to know you're doing it -- try arguing your way out of a criminal charge because you didn't know) have the same protection? I am not a lawyer nor do I pretend to be, but I think the only people who would be able to press charges are legitimate users who were harmed by the surveillance.

Didn't a couple of years ago (2 or 3) a major IT/phone company in Italy get in trouble for just that? It could have been france but I believe it was in Italy. Some major communications company was snooping on people, I think even a government official or two.. Put simply... that's illegal even in Texas, where I live. ------------------------------------------------------------------------ Test Your IDS Is your IDS deployed correctly?
