    Declan,
    
    The Feds claimed their keystroke logger in the Scarfo case was *not* a
    wiretapping device, (they'd failed to get a wiretap warrant) yet they
    charged this guy with violating wiretapping laws for using a keylogger.  It
    would be interesting to know what the differences are between these
    keyloggers are, and why using only one of them constitutes "wiretapping."
