The Scarfo case is particularly interesting, in that they apparently had to jury rig the key logger to not record while communications were taking place to avoid wiretap laws. Some more info at http://www.epic.org/crypto/scarfo.html on that. I guess my question is this - was this a case of someone being prosecuted under the wrong law, or is there really a big legal hole in this area? Do we need a new law, or could the prosecutor have gotten him dead to rights with a different charge? If so, what would have been better? P.S. - the Keycatcher is a great FUD tool for conferences. Well worth the $60 just to pass it around and watch people get nervous :) Mark Lachniet
