Legal Liability under 1986 ECPA

[Jeff Newton <Jeff_Newton () pmc-sierra com>]

I'm pushing my company to require a signed AUP, rather than simply
posting the security policy on their intranet.  I was hoping to cite
specific court cases to management illustrating the consequences of not
obtaining employee signage.

Administrators, managment, and security analysts have supposedly been
held liable for scanning/sniffing,etc actions if employee permission
isn't first obtained as per the 1986 Electronic Communications Privacy
Act.

Does anyone have specific case references?
