Good thought, but I was thinking more along the lines of UETA and
E-SIGN, along with the usual criminal penalties for forgery and

I'm pretty sure those are state by state.

On the US Federal level, there's 18 USC 2511 - Interception and

In any case, there's plenty of law to choose, we simply need a solid
