Thanks for an interesting article Valerie.

We're concerned by other articles that have appeared recently, e.g.

Use a Honeypot, Go to Prison?

suggesting that there may be difficult legal questions surrounding the use of
this technique.

Curious -- Are folks on the list making good use of honeypots, and if so, what's
your institution's legal officer's view, if any?
