Heh.. uhhh... thanks for the reminder... rm -rf /tmp/dumps

In all seriousness, you're 100% correct. Thankfully there's that little clause in the act that lets us 'intercept' data for the purposes of troubleshooting faults.

So the elephant in the room no one is talking about is the fact that ISPs and network providers do promiscuous packet captures every day of the week on wired networks that customers presume to be secure. I'd venture that if you went and had a look at the file servers/laptops of network engineers at nearly every ISP/hoster/whatever on this list you would find that there is a pcap or three laying around that contains more data than was needed or intended - maybe even personally identifiable information and so on.
