In the US it is not legal to 'eavesdrop'. One must also define
eavesdropping. Public internet isn't eavesdropping. I think being invisible
on a public channel wouldn't be considered eavesdropping in any realtion to
the term. Altho I don't see any reason for wanting to be invisible on a
channel.
But in regards to it being legal in US, please research before saying
something.
