Talk:Wiretap Act

Why does this page redirect to the Wiretap Statute? They are actually two different laws. The Wiretap Statute was Title III of the Omnibus Crime Control and Safe Streets Act (Pub.L. 90-351. The Wiretap Act is Title I of the Electronic Communications Privacy Act of 1986 (Pub.L. 99-508).  The Statute only applied to the interception of wire and oral communications.  It was replaced by the Act, which extended it to reach to electronic communications as well.  If anything, the Act page should redirect to the Electronic Communications Privacy Act instead.
