School laptop spy case prompts Wiretap Act rethink
,----[ Quote ]
| When Pennsylvania's Lower Merion school
| district installed remote control anti-
| theft software on student laptops, it had
| no intention of dragging Congress into a
| national debate about wiretapping laws and
| webcamsâbut that's exactly what it got (in
| addition to some unwanted FBI attention
| and a major lawsuit). The key question:
| should the school's alleged actions be
| made illegal under US wiretap law?
