just a guess: Illegal Electronic Surveillance

more of a guess from the below link?

18 U.S.C. ยง 2512, which prohibits the manufacture, possession, advertisement, sale, and transportation in interstate or foreign commerce of devices that are primarily useful for the surreptitious interception of communications

(although is this a hardware-specific prohibition?)
