Chat Logging requires consent?

"Consent required story" at Register.com. I get mixed feelings on this one, I'm both glad that a 'search warrant' would be required for "Big Brother" to log/intercept such things, and when I have had to 'sniff' in the middle, they always had a search warrant. In this case, I am amazed that they threw out the case due to the two party consent rule. My personal opinion: don't post to the web or via e-mail or anywhere electronic anything you don't want on the front page of the local newspaper. And don't think this ruling will help you, they'll just get a search warrant, or in places like Rhea County TN or Cleveland TN, the Judge will probably just post-date one as needed.
