Is anyone out there familiar with Congressional actions and intent in the wiretapping laws? I'm specifically thinking of domestic situations, such as recording your own line to spy on your spouse. It seems to me that Congress never intended to make this illegal, but the wording of the 1967 law prohibited it. Then they fixed it in the 1986 ECPA, but in an obscure way. I'd like to hear from anyone who really knows what really was intended. Also, if you know names of specific Congresspeople who worked on this aspect, I'd be most appreciative.
