Re: Jail Time for Honeypots?

In my neck of the woods there is a double edge sword when it comes
to security if you have a beware of dog sign on your front gate
and a would be burgular gets attacked then you are held liable because
you knew the dog is dangerous. On another note with cctv, you have
to inform people by either signs or word of mouth that you possibly
have cctv on your property. Then again we are a little backwards when
it comes to IT considering one of our Government departments paid
$4million for a web site and still the price is increasing.
