This is just silly. An illegal wiretap is intercepting a communication between two computer/people/objects without either 1.) the permission of one party, 2.) a court order. If you are a party to the communication (i.e. the honeypot) you are intercepting communications to and from your own machine. Seems like there are bigger things to be worried about.
