ABSTRACT
For those who conduct research in IA, CND, CNA, IO, IW, ITM, and network security, have you ever wondered...
How does the law apply to military and civilian government employees?
How do you identify the line between "research" and "illegal activities"?
Does military or government affiliation empower or restrict the types of activities that be can performed?
How about activities like "War Driving" and funded research?
Can we scan our own wireless networks?
What restrictions do civilian students, studying at a military school, fall under?
