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.

Exactly! There can be no expectation of privacy or the protection that
comes from it, due to the "open" nature of unencrypted radio
transmissions. It's no more private than CB radio.


But some people's stupidity, are other people's entertainment..... ;-)

Twisty's stupidity is my entertainment!!!

Unfortunately, to Twisty's way of thinking, you are his entertainment.
Such is the reason why it will never be settled.
