The Media - Caught spying
In this case, I can probably argue both sides.
Investigative journalism certainly has a place.
On the other hand, I wonder if these would be the same journalists that object to government spying, or having to reveal their "anonymous" sources...

IDG News Services, Robert McMillan reports:
"Dateline NBC Producer Michelle Madigan was publicly outed at the Defcon security conference in Las Vegas Friday after show organizers were tipped off that she was trying to film show attendees with a hidden camera.
Madigan ran from the show after organizers publicly threatened to escort her from the event at the beginning of a 4 p.m. conference session by noted hacker HD Moore. "She literally kicked the door open," said 'Priest,' a show official who declined to be identified. 'She made the mistake of running. Had she taken it like an adult, she would have been treated with kid gloves, treated with respect.'"
