While there is no doubt that eavesdropping on private conversations is illegal
Actually, that's not entirely true. First off, when this "incident"
occured, it was before the passage of the ECPA....
Eavesdropping on private conversations is indeed illegal. The difference is that
because older cordless phones didn't use any encryption, any conversation using
them cannot be legally defined as private. The cordless phone freqs were, in
effect, party lines. The owner's manuals emphasized this fact, and it's too bad
that people didn't read those things (then or now).
