SCOTT -- Sorry for the intrusion. I know that you are probably not a member
of this mailing list. However, if you have a minute, would you please explain
to this list what is the status of the 'PI to do forensics' laws and their
ramifications to the average IT person doing forensics? THANKS!

Can you point me to sources about the possibility of needing a PI or other license to do forensics and incident response? I'm the local responder for our site. It sounds like I may be ok for now, being part of the IT staff, but I'd like to know more. I'd especially like to know more before I go to corporate with questions.

Thanks,

Hi,

Lubbock, TX? My understanding -- you're burnt toast.

The person we REALLY need to get in on this discussion is Scott Moulton.
He is the real expert on this subject. He has lead the fight against this
for several years. His home state, GA, was the first to pass the PI law.
At Shmoocon he was attributed as having said that GA, NC, SC, TN, and TX
all now have the PI law.

Being from SC, it is on my agenda to see what our law now is and to try
to start to get it changed. I just haven't had time yet and will not have
time until at least the end of next week.
