Intercepting Becomes Illegal -- And A Warning"

Surely, Steve Douglass' writing style has always been towards the
sensationalism aspect of hobby radio monitoring, and of course that the
differentiation that readers probably want among the various nationally
published hobby radio magazines.

HOWEVER Steve tends to indicate in the article that the folks targeted by
these federal enforcement efforts, were really doing things that were
illegal, pure & simple...

With all this Homeland Security/Defense & terrorist attack paranoia around,
I'd tend to agree with Steve, that we in the radio monitoring hobby need to
be very sensitive to government officials perceptions of any "on scene"
monitoring activities.
