The Federal statute in this case, 18 USC § 2511(1)(a) specifically prohibits any person from intercepting “any wire, oral or electronic communication[.]”

And he was right, because the meeting did not involve Interstate communication (or any electronic communication at all), and the only law that applied was Iowa law which did not prohibit the tapeing.

Interception of electronic communication isn't necessary; all that's required is an interception of an oral communication with a device that passed in interstate commerce, just what probably happened here. Can't you Dummies come up with better responses??
