Re: E-Mail Snooping Ruled Permissible

It seems to me all the court said is you cannot use the Wire Tap Act in a case that the communication is not on the wire. The court did note the they felt this Act needs updating. They indicated the Act was very specific and they did not feel extending the Act to cover e-mail in the conditions mentioned was something they could do, without new law to guide them. The court did not rubber stamp "e-mail snooping". This case can be argued on other grounds. But many of those seem to be a grey areas. -- James H.
