Interesting. There was nothing in there about the reception of wireless
signals.
To wit: What if you just wanted to monitor a broadcast signal - similar
to, let's say, listening to a police scanner? It's fairly well
established law, both domestically and internationally, that once the
signal is in the "ether", it belongs to everyone.
I remember you mentioning that about radar. Seems reasonable to me.
However, they did have a bit in there about the Electronic Communications
Privacy Act that sounded rather ominous.
That could keep lawyers busy for about a zillion years. :)
