FCC Asks For Comments On Internet Wiretapping

Subject: FCC Asks For Comments On Internet Wiretapping
Date: Wed, 29 Sep 2004 15:17:27 -0400
There is an article posted on Slashdot.org, regarding this issue. 
http://yro.slashdot.org/yro/04/09/29/1331234.shtml?tid=158&tid=95&tid=103&tid=17
 Now my question is, if this is to be setup in a similar fashion to telephone 
wiretapping, what is to happen with broadcasted packets sent or received by the 
tapped connection? 
 Beyond the fact that probably 80%-90% of all internet broadcasts would contain 
little to no useful data top incriminate someone, this still could be an issue. 
Say for example, I am connected to the internet through the same broadband ISP 
as someone that is being "tapped". Now this person is receiving broadcast 
messages from myself, for DNS items and so on. Will my broadcasts count as 
communication with this person? 

This was just a dumb thought I had when reading the posting.
